Does anyone know if it's possible to buy tuners like the ones you can get for guitar and bass?

Cheers

Yeah, that's what mine's supposed to be tuned to. So I can just use the A string on the guitar tuner and it'd work to that?

You could either. . .

- Check some local guitar/instrument shops; sometimes they might have them.
- Purchase it online
- Actually go to Hawaii and get one
