I'm curious why you don't just use a clip on tuner?

What instrument do you intend to use this on?

That's cool. I didn't know a piezo tuner pickup would work with a woodwind inst.

I used one like this for years on stringed inst, but the clip on ones won the battle years ago for simplicity but I still use a similar tuner like the korg in the studio as it seems to be more accurate.

Doesn't everyone have one of these they bought 25 years ago and somehow only changed the batteries once in that entire time.

I use a tuner like this for synthesizer oscillators.

A built-in stand instead of the universal coin slot is just another point of failure

Pretty much. I have the Kord GA-30 silver one that I bought close to 20 years ago that's still going strong.

This was the regular price pre-tariff, when on sale they went as low as $15. Funny how regular price is now considered a deal.

Yes, that's kinda how across-the-board price increases work.

Things doubled, tripled, even quadrupled in price thanks to the current economic situation....so when a sale comes along on a product that brings it back down to the old MSRP, that is indeed a "sale".

Remember, you're not paying what it cost for Guitar Center (or any other retailer) to buy that product + profit margins. You're paying for what it'll cost to replace that product in their inventory + profit margins....today.

In many places, there are pricing rules that prohibit a retailer from selling below the price they paid for an item (with a few exceptions). Now, keep in mind -- there's usually a 100-300% increase to cover costs and profit margin. This varies greatly per item, and it's something that retail tracks and measures quite obsessively.

So if they paid $1 for an item, they might charge you $3 for it....then tariffs + inflation hit which increase their cost to $3....they'll raise their prices to $6-9 for the same item. So if they have old stock and want to reduce it down, they can legally lower that price to $3 and not run afoul of any pricing laws. They can even liquidate it at $1 if they so desire...their original cost. They'd get $0 profit from it that way.....and even incur a loss from normal business operations going unpaid from that sale. But that's their call to make
