2 questions

I wonder if any of you kind souls can help answer these questions, one
of which is tuning related, the other a bit off topic.

1. I'm still tuning up steel bars and I seem to remember John Starrett
recommending various tuners. I also remember someone saying that it
would be difficult to tune bars, with their inharmonic partials, to some
of the higher prime limits. Can anyone recommend a tuner or tuners (or
send me to suitable websites) that would be suitable for tuning metal
(and wooden) bars accurately? I have 'Blackjack' in mind. At the
moment I'm stretching too many favours by borrrowing gear and need to
buy my own. I note that Lydia Ayers in 1/1 speaks of the Woodstock chime
company as having excellent tuning facilities for metal bars. I'll be
buying in the UK so.....

2. A former guitar student of mine returned to NYC a couple of years
ago, Manhattan to be precise. Luckily he's alive and well and as we
exchange emails he tells me that he can't find a good guitar teacher.
He's been through three already. I know it's a bit banal but let's help
to make someone happy? Any recommendations anyone?

Thanks in anticipation.

Best Wishes.

You could ask my friend Gene Pritsker, who lives in Manhattan, near
the Manhattan school of music. He knows lots of guitar players who
graduated from there:

Thanks, Allison...

Actually, things are getting gradually better here. However, there
is still no telephone service to much of Manhattan (people survive
with e-mail!) and there are *lots* of police and military vehicles
around everyplace... And that doesn't include Ground Zero....
the "war zone..."

I don't even want to go down there...
