Ukulele tuning

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

Cheers

Will

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
