Intellitouch Tuners by Onboard Research are revolutionary portable tuners that attach unobtrusively to whatever instrument you're playing---acoustics, electrics, even instruments besides guitars. They clamp onto the headstock and respond to the resonating pitch of the instrument. Because Intellitouch tuners don't rely on a microphone to get the pitch of the instrument, you can use them to tune on a loud stage or in any other setting where ambient noise would render mic-based tuners useless. Another nice feature of Intellitouch tuners is the backlit display available on the PT1 model--this feature alone is especially nice on a dark stage. You can use one hand to clamp it on and off, but it's a lot easier (and more useful) to leave the tuner in place and fold it back so it's out of the way when not in use. And while the PT1 normally tunes to a standard 440, the reference pitch can be changed such that it can learn and remember a tuning reference from another instrument. It also comes with a carrying case.

The BareBone Intellitouch tuner (aka the PT2) is the bargain version of the popular PT1 tuner. It is aptly named--it comes in a bone-colored casing, and although it is identical to the Intellitouch PT1 in design (it features exactly the same tuning technology), it's the "bare bones" version, without the carrying case, the backlight, and the learn functions. Whether you prefer the backlit Intellitouch tuners or the no frills models, I think these are very nicely designed and versatile little devices.

Each of these Intellitouch tuners weighs less than 2 ounces, and uses 2 standard coin cell batteries.
