I love to tune by ear though, so this is more of a toy for me. besides, you would have to make sure the battery is easy to replace if you are in the middle of a show, and there are some other hazards that might go along with it. Also, you can't play it in the rain like rainsong guitars etc. but I would probably still mess with it.
