Yea well sophoclese, you are talking to somebody with an absolutetly foul temper which took me a long time to learn how to control and unfortunately still gets the better of me once in a while. Instrument wise, I have snapped the neck of a tenor banjo and thrown a concertina into the sea in fits of temper.

Regarding the cost of the tuner, the owner of the local music shop is a friend of mine and I got it at trade. I can't remember now but I think I paid just under £20 for it - I was very happy with the deal anyway.
