Korg CA - 30 Electronic Tuner

This is a fully chromatic tuner that is easy to use, accurate and definitely affordable. It will tune any musical instrument.

Batteries are included. $25

Bowed Psaltery Internal Pickup

I offer this pickup for installation on new ordered instruments only. The pickup includes a 1/4" phono input connected to the same film piezo pickup I use on my hammered dulcimers. The pickup will work without an internal pre-amp but the signal is improved if used with an external pre-amp. The jack is located on the left side of the instrument which seems to work best for right hand players. It can be reversed if you are lefthanded. $70 installed
