Time for a tune-up?
Guitarists need to be in tune – unless they want to punish the audience, that is. Even if you can tune by ear, electronic tuners are very helpful when you need to make sure that instruments are uniformly in tune before they are played together. The Thomann CTG-10 Clip Tuner is a highly affordable and space-saving solution and can be simply clipped to the instrument’s headstock. Once in place, the tuner picks up the string vibrations through the wood and is therefore less sensitive to outside noises than tuners that use microphones, for example. What is more, it can be attached to any headstock – whether it’s an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, or a bass guitar.
Hitting the right note
As long as the display is illuminated blue, the string is not yet tuned to the desired note. Here, the needle is pointing to the right, indicating that the note is sharp, and the D string has to be slackened slightly in order to lower its pitch. To prevent the string from subsequently slipping at the machine head, the guitar string should instead first be tuned slightly flat and then tuned up to the correct pitch.

Hitting the right note
As soon as the string is correctly in tune, the display becomes brighter and turns green. If all of the instrument’s strings need to be tuned, it is a good idea to go back and re-tune each string a second time, since the wood of the instrument’s body and neck tend to shift due to the change in string tension. This process may need to be repeated several times after putting on a fresh set of strings.

Keeping a low profile
Depending on how the guitar is held, CTG-10 can also be positioned with its display at the rear of the headstock, which makes it easier to read and allows it to be used more discreetly in certain situations.

Keeping a low profile
Mounting the tuner with the display at the back of the headstock is very helpful when you don’t want to cover the headstock or have accessories too openly on display during a performance. The tuner’s backlit display is also an advantage on dark stages, since it allows you to check your tuning without needing the house lights. The illuminated display is also not visible to the audience when the tuner mounted this way, and yet you can still quickly re-tune between songs even with your volume turned down.

Whether you’re tuning your instrument at home, on stage, or by the campfire: The CTG-10 keeps you independent from ambient noise and its easy-to-read display also makes it ideal for tuning in the dark.

About Thomann accessories
Thomann-brand products enjoy an excellent reputation, which also extends to the field of accessories. Hundreds of products from a wide range of different categories are built to the highest levels of quality and offer an excellent price/performance ratio. The use of high-quality and durable materials and the implementation of sophisticated features usually reserved for products in considerably higher price segments make Thomann accessories go-to products in many instances.
Clip on and go
The tuner is activated by pressing and holding the button, and pressing it briefly allows the player to scroll between standard guitar tuning, standard bass tuning, and chromatic tuning mode, the latter of which shows whichever note is currently being played. When standard guitar or bass tuning is selected, only the “concert pitch” notes for the respective instrument are displayed, so the strings cannot be tuned incorrectly by mistake. Chromatic mode is the ideal solution when special tunings (as often used for slide guitar, for example) or tunings below “standard” tuning are required. The display is also articulated and can thus be rotated and swivelled, allowing it to be positioned for optimum visibility from every angle.
