Randy,

Have you ever looked into those automatic tuners that attach 
to the tuning nut on the guitar head and that will tune the 
string as you pluck it?

Don't know where or how to find, but I've heard that they 
exist.

Dave

Thanks Bill.  I can tune fairly close by ear, but not as 
close on some days
as on others.  I'm just hoping for a way to tune very 
accurately without
having to use an electronic tuner which must be intepreted 
by a sighed
person.  Thanks again.  Randy
