In response to the review below: I've been using one Master Key pitchpipe for decades with excellent results. In spite of the revolution of electronic, then digital, tuners, the good ol' Master Key is amazingly reliable for such a cheap, pocket-sized instrument. The one catch is: Yes, it does depend on how you play it. It is a small reed instrument, like a harmonica, and reeds bend if you over-blow them. The correct "technique" for this "pitch instrument" (that's what they call it) is to first inhale a deep breath, then blow into the selected pitch hole very evenly and gently out of the smallest opening one can get one's mouth to make, and it seems to sound better with the silver side up. May all your melodies be on key.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to get a clear tone from the pitch "pipe" (instrument), July 6, 2006

My Kratt F to F pitch instrument makes very poor, muddy even off key tones for low F, F# and often G. The directions say: Exhale into mouthpiece for correct pitch. I get the best results if I hold the pipe to my nose and exhale into it. Using my mouth, I overblow, no matter how hard I try to make my mouth opening small. When I breathe into it, the pitches are clear and perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great gift, August 15, 2011

A kinsman of mine leads singing at his religious church. I remember seeing these pipes back when I was a child at church. So I gave him one for Xmas. It was more than a surprise - he was amazed that I was able to get his something that actually fit his personality. Next year maybe an old Scottish song book. But this item is a fine item - very reasonably priced. Actually it is quite inexpensive if you compare at music stores. A great buy.
