Fun For Me ... Music For You

Well ...
As tuners go ...
you have plain ones ...
ones that "kind of" work ...
some that you like ...
some that you throw across the room ...
some that you just throw in the trash ...
it's quite an adventure trying to find the tuner
that works for you.

I found one this winter ...
on valentines day to be exact ...
at a little place called Smith Music here in Quincy ...
this tuner and I have not been separated since!
It was love at first sight!

It was pretty ...
a nice shade of white ...
with lovely buttons ...
a digital display to let you know when you were in tune ...
a very handy clip on the end
that clipped right to your instrument
which allowed for hands free tuning.
So nice ...
so sweet ...
so convenient ...

Well ...
that was then ...
THIS ...
is now ...

Here's a front view ...
You may say that doesn't look so bad ...
What you can't tell in the picture is that
It won't stay closed now.
You can see the little computer chip inside
and the battery.
You have to squeeze it closed with your fingers
in order to make it connect and work.

HUGE BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is the view from the back ...
now you can see where he chewed the clip off ...
now it won't clip onto my instrument anymore ...

NOW ...
I have to squeeze it together with one hand
while holding it against my instrument
while plucking the string
and turning the tuning pegs
to get my instrument in tune.

DANG IT!!!!!
DANG IT!!!!
DANG IT!!!
