LOVE IT!!!

What a time saver! Before, I had to drag out an amp or pedal that has a tuner along with cables to get an accurate tuning. Now I just pull out the ol' Snark and clip it on the head!!! Intonated my Strat in minutes with this thing! Works excellent on my Floyd Rose equipped B.C. Rich - even with the locking nut!!! Don't know why I didn't get one much sooner!!!!

SN-8

I have been a musician for over 60 year's
I started out on guitar, then pedal steel and Bass guitar
and I have bought tuners of all types,
some were good and some flat out junk.
and cumbersome to use,
I tried the snark SN-2 and I LOVED IT .
No cables to plug in no wires running everywhere.
So when they came out with the SN-8 I ordered it..
The letters are bigger and brighter and it is a lot quicker the the others
The price for this little clip on is well worth it.
you won't find a better tuner
TRY IT . YOU WILL LOVE IT .....

Snark SN-8

I've owned several similar tuners, but this one is the first that I did not have to wrestle with to be able to read right side up once connected and is very easy to see in all lighting conditions, plus haveing the metronome is a bonus. Sweet little gem.

Perfect

Really great tuner. It works quickly, precisely and is worth way more than the asking price. Especially happy with how easy the clamp is to manipulate on different guitars and the screen, which can be rotated in pretty much any direction.

Better Than You Could Hope For

Over the last few years, I can't tell you how many cheap little plastic clip-on tuners I've amassed, most of which were handed out free... and for good reason. Eager to find a useable chromatic headstock tuner, I asked by friend at Sweetwater for a recommendation, and he suggested this Snark SN-8. And, as always, my friend was right. Here's why I'm a fan of this awesome little tuner.

I'm not going to name any names here, but unlike other similar tuners, this Snark doesn't appear to think that every string is either a B or a G. I also dig the fact that I don't have to lock myself in an isolation chamber and crank as hard as possible on my guitar to get this thing to track. And as one of those guys who remembers what it was like not to need reading glasses but can't remember to carry a pair everywhere, I really love the freakishly clear and readable color display that you don't even have to squint at in order to read.

I'll probably continue to collect the promo tuners they pass out at trade shows, but if my Snark SN-8 ever breaks, I'll gladly pay for another one.

Nice Surpize

I had other tuners I was pleased with, so the Snark never was never opened until I had a battery fail. I tried it and was completely amazed! It lives up to it's name Super Tight Snark. It actually works better than any clip on I have ever used. At it's price point it's a must have for any player. You won't go wrong with this tuner. I am ordering several!

Great Product

Totally blown away at its performance. I had a Fishman guitar tuner and it was OK, but this little unit is amazing.

My Fishman off/on switch broke in less than 6 months. Just got this, but the off/on switch seems very substantial.

Great Tuner - Delicate design

The unit is fantastic. But beware that one bad fall, the fitting that holds the tuner to the clip will break very easily.... and then no more clip on. This happened to mine and a friend as well. The cost and convenience are great, but be ready to buy a replacement if yours ever falls.
