All your bases are belong to us.

First of all, can Leland actually read this tuner in its current position?

Secondly, massive disrespect to the maker not trusting it to stay in tune for the duration of a gig. It was a running joke in my last band borrowing the guitarist's tuner just to find my Shuker was still in tune from the previous gig.

 

He probably has decent eyesight. Most clip-on tuners are bright enough to be read at a metre or so distance. I can see mine fine and I wear spec's to read.

 

Massive disrespect to the maker? Not really. Strings are metal. Not only that, they are a blend of different metals - core, winding, etc. Never heard of metals expanding/contracting due to temperature variation?

 

As far as music stands go, as long as they are discreetly placed, they're fine in my opinion. I used to play in a function band. Our book had several hundred numbers in it. It just wasn't feasible to have them all in your head at all times. It's a different matter if you're a bunch of weekend warriors playing the same twenty songs each week.
