Electronic Tuners
These are one of the best modern inventions for musicians, especially beginners. I have a bunch of these and really like the clip-on tuners.
I have accumulated several electronic tuning devices over the years from the pitch pipe I got with my first guitar 40 plus years ago, to a tuning fork and several electronic tuners that live in my guitar case and on my ukuleles today.
I don't even have my beginner students learn to tune by ear until well into playing the guitar. I have them get an electronic tuner and ALWAYS play in tune. This trains their ear and they learn what an in-tune guitar sounds like and can then learn to tune the guitar by ear.
Here is a review the current crop of clip-on tuners that I have and still use today.
Here is a page of reviews on the tuners that I have used in the past and still use and reccommend.
Recommended Tuner
This is my current favorite. I have several and they are great, durable and accurate.
TUN-Oahu
$19.95
O‘ahu Chromatic Tuner
Designed for all stringed instruments. On the market there are currently a wide variety of clip-on tuners available. Ko'olau's previous Pono P5 tuner was popular, but in today’s competitive market, the great builders and designers at Ko'olau felt that pricing was too high. Their new O‘ahu Tuner is higher quality, a more compact design, and less expensive.
Besides high quality and low cost, the new O‘ahu Chromatic Tuner is simple to use, and works on all stringed instruments. It lacks some of the unnecessary “bells and whistles” of other tuners which offer optional settings and different background colors when in or out of tune, but we decided that quality and simplicity (on or off), and of course, affordability is more important.
The LCD display has one easy to see color, and when in tune, the needle points to the center, also displaying three additional lines along with three lines to display an “in tune” mode. Again, fun frills are impressive, but not really necessary. Also, the clip-on bracket is sturdy and durable.

Tuner, Metronomes and more...
(from their site) -
In the early 1960s, Korg founder Tsutomu Katoh was a nightclub proprietor. A popular Japanese accordionist and engineer named Tadashi Osanai performed regularly at Mr. Katoh’s club, and one evening, Mr. Katoh told Osanai it would be nice to have a rhythm machine to keep the beat. Mr. Osanai was sure he could build a rhythm machine himself, and convinced Mr. Katoh to finance his efforts.
In 1962, Mr. Katoh rented a small workshop alongside the Keio (pronounced Kayo) railway line so he and Mr. Osanai could develop a mechanical rhythm machine. Mr. Katoh named the fledgling enterprise Keio Electronic Laboratories, which later became Korg — a derivation of the words “Keio” and “ORGan.” Their first rhythm machine was ready in 1963. It was called the Disc Rotary Electric Auto Rhythm machine, but its more popular (and easy to say!) name was the DoncaMatic DA-20. Korg went on to release many models of “Drum Machines,” as they came to be known.

Editor's Note: (August 2009)
I have this Chromatic Headstock Tuner and it appears to be pretty durable.
I would reccommend this clip-on tuner over some of the others. No rattles, no weak attachment point and
pretty quick in recognizing the notes.
Only for right handed guitars.
Company History
In 1994, Howard and Robert Silagy started a small guitar strap company in Hicksville, N.Y. Their approach to business was simple: make attractive, durable straps using high-quality materials and people will buy them. Over the next four years, the company grew, with sales skyrocketing because of the growing popularity of Planet Waves colorful, attractive designs and the line's thick, heavy-duty leather tabs.
In 1998, D'Addario & Company, Inc. acquired the Planet Waves line and it joined D'Addario's world-renowned family of musical instrument accessory brands. D'Addario envisioned the line as more than just accessories for guitarists, but for musicians as a whole.
Chromatic Headstock Tuner precisely tunes guitars, basses and many other stringed instruments utilizing the instrument's vibrations rather than sound - no direct sound or electronic signal is required. Using an optimally positioned, highly sensitive piezo transducer and backlit LCD display, the Headstock Tuner allows you to tune quickly and accurately in noisy or dimly-lit environments where many tuners fail. The compact, lightweight design doesn't add cumbersome mass to your instrument and delivers clear viewing from any angle. Simply clip on and tune up!
The Tru-Strobe Tuner is an extremely accurate pitch measurement device, perfect for settling intonation, recording and live performances where being in tune is of the utmost importance. The tuner’s heavy-duty construction includes a built-in microphone and input jacks for tuning acoustic, as well as electronic instruments. The slightest difference between input frequency and the ideal frequency accumulates over time, and appears as movement on the circular LED interface. Once the movement stops, you are perfectly in tune.

Editor's Note: (JUne 2009)
The ZOID Clip-on Tuner has some nice features but durabality is not one of them. It looks
sturdy but the my uke fell over on the tuner and it broke where the post connects to the tune. I
would not reccommend this for anyone but the most careful person. And, we can be careful but not have
control over others around our instruments. These clip-on design should have not made it
out of design and testing.
A graduate of the University of Florida's School of Engineering, Sabine founder and CEO Doran Oster built the company based on innovation and quality. "Some people go into business distributing other people's products, or making products that are similar to everyone else's product, but cheaper," Oster said. "That's what I call a 'me too' product. We don't have the resources to do things cheaper than our international competitors. A Sabine product has to be something new or something substantially better than what's on the market."

Learning How to Tune by Ear - This lesson talks about possible tuning methods for ukulele.
It is absolutely amazing the number of guitar players and ukulele players that do not know the names of the notes (each fret) on their own instruments. This is a phenomenon not found on most other instruments.
Knowing the names of the notes of the fingerboard is not the same as reading standard music notation. Each fret, on each string has at least one name and a music symbol associated with it. Just knowing at least one of the possible names of the frets is quite liberating.
Understanding the ukulele fingerboard cuts down on the amount of material that needs to be memorized, the number of shapes that need to be memorized and will improve all aspects of you playing.
