Lots of 'Power' in small device

This thing is a value at twice the price. Really COOL. It came recommended... I second the recommendation. Easy to use and read display. Buy this!!

Never Had So Much Fun Tuning!!!

This unit is unbelievable!!! Extremely Accurate / Holds In Place Tightly / Looks Great / Eliminates My Floor Tuner (simpler, cleaner signal path to guitar amp) & Can Be Used On Any Style Guitar Headstock. Having your guitar precisely tuned makes guitar playing more enjoyable. Period.

Surprisingly useful chromatic tuner

I bought the chromatic tuner on the outside chance that it would work on my pedal steel guitar. I clipped it to the frame, tuned up and WoW... it works great!

This is the one to get for a Chapman Stick

Simple review: this is the tuner for a Chapman Stick. Works every time. Super accurate from string 1 through string 10.

Impressed

I bought this tuner just for fun truthfully I thought it would just be for when I was practicing but when I started using it i was really impressed. After that I istarted using it real often by gigs n all and I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately it broke on me so I have to get a new 1 but that's life. Thanx snark for makin a gr8 product

Bizarrely Flimsy

I loved this tuner - the clip itself is probably the sturdiest and most well built of any clip-on tuner I've tried. The display is super bright and colorful, and just plain looks cool - it almost likes a display on an old handheld video game, but event crisper. It's pretty accurate too. It's somewhat large, however, and if you have a small headstock, you might find it hard to make it fit. The plastic is made of has this really cool rubberized matte feel to it, which is quite nice.

Problem is, while the clip is sturdy, the neck (what attaches the display to the clip) is not. The neck is held in place by a 3 pronged plastic rotating joint - problem is, those prongs are very easy to break. The neck too, is easy to break. I've had 2 of these, and with one, the neck broke off (while in a padded, protected pocket too!), and with the other, one of the prongs broke off (while attached to my guitar). Chances are, if you're like me, you'll want to keep this on your guitar all the time - if you do, I all but guarantee it will one day snap on you. Shame, because it's really nice otherwise.

Broke on the first gig

I got this one for $10 on one of these sites... I think it was Sweetwater... And I was stoked about it! It's really accurate, lightweight and easy to use. Unfortunately it broke after the first gig, just like any other clip-on tuner I ever used. I love the idea, but they just never last!!

Snark SN-2

Very accurate tuner. Unfortunately the life span of the Snark SN-2 is very short. I would purchase another Snark if I thought it would last longer then a month.

Broke easily

While the tuner works nicely, it is poorly made. I broke the plastic that holds the tuner on to the clamp THE FIRST DAY I HAD IT. I was able to fix it with a zip tie.. but still. I have a cheaper Planet Waves one that I have dropped about 50 times and it has not broken.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
