[...] every time I sit down to play (or try to play) a song, is a tuner. A month ago, I took a look a the Intelli IMT-500 tuner. I like it very much, but like any good gadgeteer, I’ll be happy to dump it for something [...]

What tuner do you like to use? I’m still a beginner, and am still only playing within the first 7 frets or so. I guess I’ve not yet run into the issues you’re referring to.

While the design is great and its use is convenient, I really don’t like this tuner. While it is so easy to use this seems to be relatively inaccurate or at least rather imprecise tuner. The needle jumps to a position and stays there rather than move around a bit. which is the norm with most high quality tuners. This seems to be proven when I test this against other tuners. It generally is a bit off the mark, which is a real problem with an uke. I play up-the-neck a lot and being off a little bit translates to really dischordant tones above the 5th fret.
