I am completely at sea in looking for a tuner- I cant remember the name of this object & its driving me crazy- its kinda like round that has certain notes on it and you blow into it & sounds like a somewhat harmonica...

What is the name of this ? its not a tuning fork- thats for pianos i believe

My friends🙋 made a bet with me- they said "if you dont have a date with a certain😂😅😅 so & so guy☺ 😇☺ by Christmas then i have to learn how to play cello😮😨😵 😆😆

Pitch pipe. Or you can be like me and listen to a song. I never play in 440 unless on a piano. My guitars are never tuned standard anyways. Cellos (wish I had one) don’t need to be tuned unless you play in a symphony.

And some people are old.

I saw a kid playing an acoustic guitar that was obviously amplified, but I couldn’t see how. It took me a while to realize it’s wireless, now...

(I’m old...)

Use your ears, play open-string double stops, and listen for the perfect fifth on each pair of strings.

That's old school.
