I have a question... All tuners I had to deal with had these characteristics... So all of them are chromatic... My question is what would this "other" kind of tuners look like, since I've never seen a tuner diferent then the one in the above definition? I.e. is there any tuner that isn't chromatic and what does it look like?

Thanks in advance
