Good for the price
Benjamin I. 06.03.2018
The hinges are not as tough as in my Fender or Planet Waves tuners but the spring clip is. During the first couple of days something inside it made a faint buzzing sound when I played certain notes but this has stopped now.

Sometimes it hesitates for one or two seconds before registering the note but that is resolved if it's clipped somewhere else on the headstock. The on/off switch is situated at a convenient place. The screen is large and bright.

The luminous needles on the screen show the pitch with enough accuracy but not as finely as the Planet Waves (three times the price) or the Fender (twice the price). However the display is precise enough to set an intonation if I also listen carefully.

I trust my other tuners a little more but it can be done with this one, too. At times it does not display the right note, say an A instead of an E, but it indicates the right pitch anyway, I guess it mixes up some harmonics but it doesn't matter, and other tuners also do that sometimes. The letters are big and bright.

I like the satin but not toyish bright color, and the plastic is not slippery. It works with my bass, too, without having to change the mode. I keep it on my desk all the time because not all my guitars have their own tuner. For only 7 euros battery included I'm happy with it.

Edit: I pulled the battery out and rubbed both sides on rough fabric for a minute. Put it back in and the digital needle doesn't fluctuate anymore. Seems that a greasy film or some oxidation on the battery reduced the power coming out of it.

Useful qutie, even for beginners
Nurkapshenich 05.03.2023
There is lot of tuners, but ain't all of them red and can turn like this one. Really, when I found out that you can twist and turn it lika THAT I was surprised, chefs kiss. Quality isn't that good, but it's okay for the two minutes of your tuning time. I already dropped it couple of times, and it stayed intact, which is good, but I wouldn't trust it that much. Features like alternative A tuning systems is nice, but I wanted it to go lower, not higher. And tuning modes good for beginners.

It was my first clip-on tuner and I liked it. I mean it's quiet precise and the battery lasts very long (about 6 months in my case). Can be used with lots of different instruments. There's only one thing you should take into account - it's mainly good for the home practice. When I tried to use it at my band's rehearsal place it happened to be pretty useless. Probably it was too distracted by lots of noises around and I couldn't tell everybody to shut up every time I needed to check my tuning :) So if you'd like to buy it for home practice - go ahead, it's good, especially for the price. For the real rehearsals you'd rather need a pedal tuner.

Not Bad for This Price
aealtinbas 27.01.2021
I used this tuner for guitar and ukulele. Piezo sensor works fine. Its size is not too big. But I'm concerned about material quality. In addition, it is a suitable tuner for everyone thanks to its structure that can move from many different parts.

Good for the price but not 100% reliable
Bungle42 22.07.2021
It's a good product all in all. Has a lot of different functions, it's easy enough to use and it comes in handy in case you play with different tunings a lot. But it isn't exactly precise. I wouldn't use it as my main tuner, but it works great as a backup.

it works.
moleG 06.10.2020
it works really well, the layout and function of the buttons, espcially the button for changing your tuning mode is a little srange, and at first I accidentaly changed my tuning mode an didn?t know howto change it back, this happened several times befor ei worked out how the buttons work.

other than that I am very happy with this tuner.

Geed for the price nice looking
Martin T. 705 01.05.2020
It does the job I would say that it is a bit slow to respond. I use it on electric guitars. It has a nice large display ( I wear reading glasses and this is big and clear enough not to need them). The colour is nice matches my red guitars. The plus points are size and clarity of display, manoverability of the thing when mounted is also good. I have used other clip on tuners that respond a bit quicker. For the price nice deal
