I use a KORG tuner...there are several models and other brands, but yes...you should get one with input plug...then there is a simple way to clamp an alligator clip to a peg and tune with no 'background noise' problems...not sure if you live near a major music store, but you CAN use any decent electronic tuner till you can get the plug in gadget...(you do NOT need a plug ON the harp)
