I have order soje for the fellows and they love it,
it's the best out there for the money and it does exactly what is supposed to do... Tune your instrument's.........

Best Tuner in Price Range

The Snark tuners are the best, most accurate tuners in it's price range. It's what I carry in my music studio and recommend to students. It's colorful, speedometer style display is easy to read and understand. The CR-2032 batteries (one is included) last me about 3-6 months depending on use (and I use them A LOT!). They are fairly sturdy, but I've had young students break them (at the flange point where it is weakest). There are several models differentiated by minor feature differences and color, so read the descriptions carefully. I think they should ALL do the exact same thing and be offered in different colors. Accurate to about 1-2 cents (same for all of its kind), it's more that adequate for tuning in noisy environments. Don't rely on your phone!

Snark!

This tuner is tremendous! It's also a conversation peice too! Well worth the $$.

accurate & reliable tuner

This is a great little tuner. Very accurate & easy to read and use. I like the fact that you can clip it to be on the front of the headstock or the back. And the adjustable, rotating display is a huge plus !! I previously was using a planet waves headstock tuner and found it to be slow and not too accurate. Sometimes it would not even pick up the low E string.
If your looking for a great headstock tuner, this is it !! Don't waste your time or your money on the planet waves, this one beats it hands down !!

WOW!!!!!This is GREAT!!!!!!!!

I love it!!!!!Works GREAT!!!!!!!Easy to see!!!!!!!

Stuck on this!

I really can't find anything to criticize negatively...Hmmm, maybe that the battery eventually gets used up. I have two of these and the act of tuning just couldn't be made any easier. The display is very visible under any lighting situations. I love the way it snaps onto the note when you do twist those little knobs on the headstock! Great for alternate tunings also. I've tried other brands and have decided that I'll not waste money on anything else.

Bass guitar compatible.

I have had different vibration tuners and this is by far the most sensitive and consistent tuner I have had. It is so sensitive that I use it when adjusting the intonation of my bass. This tuner is easy to read, accurate and attractive.

I Call It Super Snark!

I can't believe how easy to use and accurate this little tuner is. I previously had a Sabine AX-2000 contact tuner and it worked fairly well for many years but started eating batteries even when turned off. Also the Sabine had difficulty locking onto the low E string on my electric bass. The Snark SN-1 is easier to attach and remove, works every time and battery life is excellent. It works great on my 6 and 12-string guitars and even performs flawlessly on my electric bass locking onto the low E string instantly. For the money, this tuner absolutely cannot be beat. I'll never use any other!

Snark

I like this it works great and is small enough to be left on my Taylor, now I can tune in between songs with the volume down. Good product and great price!

Freed up a rack space in my bass rig!

Got it on special for $10. I used one of these at a jam session and it wowed me immediately. So I bought two and I'm so happy I did. Taking the antiquated tuner out of my rack today! It has a visual metronome in it too, but it's nearly useless as the heartbeat sign is too small. But it'll be nice to have around for finding tempos at practices. Awesome little tuner!

Not just for guitar!

I picked up one of these tuners for a hammered dulcimer, and it works wonders! Clip onto the bridge of the hammered dulcimer or any stringed instrument and it will pick up only the vibrations of the instrument even in the midst of a noisy crowd or band. The display is sharp, futuristic, colorful, and most importantly accurate. Definitely worth the money.

Thought they were all the same!

I purchased a Korg clip on tuner and it was ok but had to replace battery 2nd day of use? Then gearfest offered a snark and I'll never buy anything else! Tune your guitar easier, faster and more percise and save money. Everyone I show says wow this is cool looking and works better than any tuner they have used ! I hope Snark builds another product, these guys get it !

Best Stage Tuner for Most Situations

Can't beat the price, and the easiest tuner to use with the best display for tuning on the fly onstage. No need to stare down at a floor pedal or turn around to look at a rack-mount tuner. Just dial down your instrument volume and tune noise-free.

Very Satisfied

Nice size and great display. I received my Snark SN-1 today and tuned mine and my kid's two guitars (all of differing makes and quality) and it tuned them easily and accurately. I like the way it fits to easily behind the headstock out of the way.

Snark Tuner

I own a lot of tuners, including the headstock type. This one blows the others out of the water. My problem with headstock tuners is they seem to have a slow response time from when you strike the string you're attempting to tune. And then, they don't seem to be too stable and wavier all over. The Snark tuners are sensitive and very responsive. The other issue with almost all tuners is that they are hard to read in bright sunlight in outdoor situations. I don't have that problem with the Snark. My only complaint is that while it is very stylish, it doesn't pack away neatly into a guitar case like the flat or square tuners. Awesome tuner! Highly recommend. Price is very reasonable too.

the best

very accurate, easy 2 use, the best for live situations, where you can lower down your guitar's volume knob, and tune very fast. very versatile.

Great item, but.....

I would give the Snark tuner a 5 out of 5, but when i pluck one string i get a few different notes on the tuner, so it takes me some time to tune, but all in all its a great little item.

Great tuner!!

Best $15 I ever spent!!

Snark SN-2

This a really nice and easy to use tuner. The only problem I have encountered is one of the small pieces of plastic that hold the display and allow it to swivel broke off. I will find the ideal position and superglue it back. Apart from that it is great. Buy one, or two. You won't be disappointed.

A Great Tuner

It really picks up immediately from string to string. I also have another well know name brand and there is a delay between changing strings. Easy to see while playing on stage. I told our other guitar players about the Snark/Sweetwater and noticed that on stage, there were 3 of us with identical tuners attached to the head stock and our bass player ask to borrow mine. Picks up bass and syncs right on the B string. On some guitars have had some problem picking up the E string. Great buy for the $.

Simple, fast, cheap, and effective

Probably the best of the low-end clip-on tuners, and so inexpensive that you can buy several of them to keep in your guitar cases. It's not as accurate as the Peterson StroboClip, but you can buy several of these for the price of one Peterson. If you've never used a clip-on tuner, this is probably the one to start with for casual use.

tuner

I like the in the dark light feature. and portability

Snark Tuner is....well.. :/

i was very happy with the preformance of this thing. it is really jumpy and its hard to get an accurate tuning from it. i payed 20 for it now its ten dollars, a much more fitting price for it. cosmetics wise its awsome and doesnt feel cheap but id take a cheap feelin tuner that worked great over a crappy one that felt expensive...

so all in all, its a decent tuner. not much better than the old first act tuner i was using tho...

Dont Beleive the Hype....not that accurate and keeps falling apart

After reading the many reviews, I had to try one one these out for myself
and Quite Frankly ...Not impressed. The meters were always shaky and especially on the lower notes. The other down side was viewing the screen in bright situations and the view angles were limited...there are many times the screen creates an optical illusion of displaying all the features at the same time.

The positive is that it's shiny and colorful...would make a great money clip
