I second the above about the tuner. In fact, I cant practice too long with the tuner before I am ready to throw the d---ed thing in the wall.

I have been using the CD's with the Thompson Buzzing book and there are also ones avalible for Stamp, and it (has accompiment for studies) It seems to help lock pitch into 440. In any case If I cant buzz with a cd or keyboard I dont. I read someplace (forgot where) about Stamp's insistance about playing in tune with equal temprament. Also have been encouraging beginners to play with the CD's that come with the beginer books so they can hear the pitches and (subconciously) start to play in tune without talking about it.
