The PT-15 is the most sought after and versatile Pocket Tones yet. It can be used for virtually any instrument, and has specialized uses as well. A cappella and choral singers find the chromatic C indispensable, it is a must, especially when there is no piano or other reference instrument near by. It is non-disruptive when tuning during performances because the volume control dials down to a 'whisper', and a 40-voice choir can hear it at max volume._ The individual note select gets you an immediate tone, and besides all of that, the PT-15 fits right in the palm of your hand! Pocket Tones are sanitary, accurate, and a fantastic way to develop perfect pitch.

Exactly what any a cappella singer needs. Previous reviewers complained about the lack of an on/off switch (and justifiably so), but mine has one, so Farley's must have listened. Very useful!

I purchased two of the Farleys Pocket Tones. After a month or so, one of the devices is broken: it runs through the battery set quickly, without my using it.
The other one still works, but I find it isn't a perfect solution. First, there's no real on-off switch. You use the Pocket Tones by pressing one of the pitch keys and then pressing that same one again. So, it's always ready to play, even when in a bag or in my pocket. And it does. Often.
I've come across it singing to itself in my pocket or bag. This can kill the array of batteries at times. There's no way to know what the battery status is and I've had it die at times when I needed it.
At the minimum, it needs an on-off switch. I'm looking at non-electric solutions.

This is a great tone generator to keep in your pocket. I debated between a traditional one and electronic - and the electronic version is easier to carry, play - plus can be shared without worries. Would definitely recommend to others.

Works as it should. Very small size. Easier to use than a pitch pipe.

Just what the A Capella singer needs. No more reaching into your pocket for your where you just had your change from the kids with the dirty hands at McDonalds.
