clip on tuners

Can anyone recommend any "clip-on" tuners currently available over others?
The Center Pitch model is cheaper than the Korg. Is the Korg better in any way?

I use a 'Center Pitch' and sometimes just keep it clipped to my leadpipe. I like it a lot except for one thing.... it is almost too sensitive. You have to be quite close to the actual pitch or it won't register anything. I don't think it has a spread of much over 10-15 cents or so. When making 'major' intonation adjustments on the bench, I usually have my cheapie Seiko... which has a plus or minus 50 cents indicator.

I liked it so much that I just bought one. Shop around, the $35 list price seems to be very flexible.

Do a net search for 'Center Pitch Tuner'. I saw prices as low as $23... plus postage, of course.

I have a Boss tuner (forgot the model) that has an input for a clip on thing (kinda like a clip on mic). The clip on part was only a few bucks and it works great. I use it everyday in wind ensemble. The only draw back is that it picks up the other instruments vibrations on your horn but it works great other than that.

When Doc @ ibowtie.com gets his new store up and running, he could use the business.
