CenterPitch Universal CP2
This intonation tool for brass, woodwind and bowed stringed instrument players attaches easily to your instrument, feels the vibrations as you play and displays the immediate pitch response necessary to learn intonation control. The CP2 is responsive over the entire note range at all dynamic levels and can be set to display notes enharmonically sharp or flat and transposed for instruments between concert pitch and B-flat, E-flat or F. tuners.com

Hohner S-32 Melodica
Fun fact: Max Roach worked out melodies for 1960’s Freedom Now Suite on a melodica. So, you wanna be like Max and compose on one too, but you don’t wanna break the bank doing so? Hohner built this one just for the budding melodica melody maker. The S-32 is an inexpensive student model sporting 32 keys, with a range of more than two and a half full octaves up from F below middle C. hohnerusa.com
