Guitar Pitch
Are all guitar pitch pipe brands/models more or less the same in quality, or are some better than others?
I'd like to buy a pitch pipe for tuning my acoustic guitar by ear but am unsure which brand to choose. I don't have any skill in tuning yet, so would ideally like to get hold of as good and accurate a one as possible to learn with. They seem pretty cheap to buy, but I wonder if some are better than others? I would be very appreciative if anybody might recommend a certain brand/model to me that is known to be reliable!
I'm a beginner to guitar and apologize if this is a silly question (I don't know much about guitars, or anything about tuning yet!)
Thank you 
Ignore everyone recommending an electronic tuner. Pitch pipes and tuning forks are much better for the developing musician, as they help to train your ear. Electronic tuners don't do that. You don't even need to listen to yourself while you're tuning if you use an electronic tuner. You can blast death metal in a set of headphones and just watch the screen. That's no way to do things... you're trying to be a musician! You should use your ears and listen!
They don't vary much in quality. In fact, most of them are manufactured by only 2 or 3 companies, then they just slap different stickers on them.
