[Trombone-l] tuners

[Daryl Burch]

The big band I'm playing in now rehearses at one of the local high  
schools. And they have one in the band room. The 1st time I saw it I  
did a double take and had a flash back to 7th grade band with Mr. P.  
Whom, if you got him mad enough, the mole on his forehead would turn  
beat red and he'd throw his baton at you.

For some reason (probably the 25 y/o tuner comment from Eric), this  
thread
has made me think of the old Conn Strobotuner (or Strobo-Conn).

The first time I ever tried to tune on those as a kid it was "what am I
looking at?"  I got real dizzy trying to play a Bb and watch that thing
though!
