Easily Tune Your Acoustic - Even in Noisy Crowds!

Once you get the Fishman FT-1 clip-on acoustic tuner, you'll never go back to that clunky old desktop one. This compact tuner clips right onto your acoustic guitar's headstock and offers a super-bright display that - get this - lights green when you're in tune. That means you won't have to use a hard-to-read meter when you're onstage and it's dark. Fishman's FT-1 swiveling tuner gets better, though. It has a built-in sensor that senses the vibrations of your guitar to detect pitch, so you'll be able to use the Fishman FT-1 even in the noisiest of crowds!

Fishman FT-1 Clip-on Acoustic Tuner at a Glance:
  • Flexible tuning
  • Ideal for acoustic instruments
  • Great visibility

Flexible tuning
What makes the FT-1 so handy is that it excels in any situation. While the built-in sensor is perfect for tuning up onstage or in the middle of a noisy coffee shop, the FT-1 also has a built-in microphone. Just clip the FT-1 to your desktop - or anything really - and tune up just as you would with a regular tuner. The tuner is fully chromatic and you can switch instrument modes for "string number"-style tuning for guitar, bass, and ukulele.

Ideal for acoustic instruments
Built with the acoustic musician in mind, the FT-1 makes it easy to tune up wherever you are - in your bedroom or out on the big stage. Best of all, it takes care of your tuning needs with a fits-in-your-pocket package that clips right to your headstock.

Great visibility
The Fishman FT-1's bright LCD display is just as visible on a bright sunny day as it is in a dark club. No matter what the conditions are, you won't have trouble seeing your tuning status at a glance.

Fishman FT-1 Clip-on Acoustic Guitar Tuner Features:
  • Compact acoustic guitar tuner clips to your headstock or flat surfaces
  • Bright, easy-to-read LCD display lights green when you're in tune
  • Swivel mount rotates for easy viewing
  • Clip-on sensor for tuning in noisy environments
  • Built-in microphone for traditional tuning
  • Instrument modes display string number fo tuning guitar, bass, or ukulele
  • Adjustable reference pitch from 435Hz to 445Hz
  • "Flat" mode for easy transposed tuning
  • Automatic power save and shut-off features help save batteries
  • Includes one 2032 "coin" battery

Honestly, this worked perfectly and intuitively right out of the packaging (along with included battery - doesn't get better than that!). I just purchased a Martin Backpacker and needed a tuner to go ... read more [+]along with it - I trust the Fishman name and I liked the price. Now that I've used it, I'd recommend it hands down.

Works but not exactly user friendly

It's a headstock tuner that is inexpensive, and it works. Now the downside: It is very touchy, I have an awful time keeping from making it switch modes when I don't want it to, and you can't see it w... read more [+]ell enough to tell, so almost very time I use it, I have to unclip it from the headstock and look at it to see what I have accidently changed this time. Tuning is very touchy, a 10° turn of the tuning knob goes from two notches flat to two notches sharp, then a series of 5° turns back doesn't change it until it jumps to two notches flat again! Grrr. It's easy to see why it's cheap. close [-]

I bought this tuner after trying two Intelli clip on tuners: both lost the back battery cover. Same thing happened with the Fishman only a few months after I bought it.

It's a decent little tuner but very cheaply put together. close [-]
