ADEQUATE…….JUST.

Ok I suppose, but somewhat fiddly, and it didn’t always pick up the notes on some of my many instruments. The display in daylight is not bright enough.

Just about ok for the money, but I would not be rushing to buy another. .

Mixed feelings here
Monatomic Rooster 05.04.2019
The first PW-CT-12 I got a while ago for my bass had a green screen, a mode button for tuning or metronoming and 180 degree screen flip. It worked well on the C and F tuned strings but rarely picked up the D and G. Playing the 12th-fret harmonic to tune them sometimes worked, but haphazardly. In a studio with other instruments making a noise the tuner failed totally to register anything at all. Best position for the tuner appeared to be right at the far end of the headstock, well away from the nut. My second purchase, shown here, has a white on blue screen, no mode button so no metronoming and 90 degree screen rotation. A better mix in my view. Performance is similar to the green-screen tuner. These tuners both really cannot cope with the two bottom strings on my basses and in fact the Snarks have proven in my experience to be much more capable and a better choice for tuning a bass. But who wants a ruddy satellite dish hanging off the end of his murder weapon?

Not for 8 strings
Sergii 24.09.2019
Really compact and comfortable. Works perfectly for 6, harder for 7 and almost useless for 8 string (tried with 4 different guitars and pickups). Eventually I've bought pedal instead, don't use it anymore at all.

Not suited for bass
Pedromagalhaes 23.10.2020
Nice quality, I like the low profile. But for some basses it's incredibly hard to tune the E and A string, especially if the bass body doesn't vibrate a lot.

Still, I purchased it for a travel bass and it works good enough, if you have the patience to tune.

Average performance but a useful backup
guitargeek62 10.07.2018
I've had this quite a while now but never found it to be very accurate with any of my guitars. It's good enough for general use or a quick tuneup, but not accurate enough if needing to tune with other instruments. I've since moved on to another brand.

Micro headstock tuner
Diarmaid 03.06.2015
the tuner is small and effective, barely visible on your guitar, the metronome keeps time well but i don't use it since I prefer audible metronomes over visual one, easier to feel the rhythm than see it. the unit requires a guitar with good sustain, i found on my strat the unit wouldn't pickup the string vibration because of the tremolo. the unit is bright and easy to see in the dark, in daytime the display is harder to see.

It is very easy to use, the screen is small but clear and I've never had any problems seeing the display. However in a live or rehearsal situation it doesn't work.
