Dear All,
I am interested in buying a good Oud Tuner, can anyone tell me what is the best tuner to get.
I found this one on ebay http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-tune-your-Oud_W0QQugidZ1000000000200...
But I am not too sure, advice please

The little korg tuners are really good.

Here's one for $30USD including shipping to Australia.

An important tip: get a CHROMATIC tuner, don't get carried away with a simple guitar tuner. The korg shown in the ebay is fine. U can get to good results with it.

The Korg CA30 is very good for oud and I wouldn't be without one.
But if I'm near a computer when I need to tune, I use the freeware AP Tuner http://www.aptuner.com/cgi-bin/aptuner/apmain.html
As well as giving a very solid reading, it also allows you to set your preferred temperament.

Regards,

Greg
