Inconspicuous Chromatic Banjo Tuner

Keeping your banjo in tune during play is essential for best performance, but when you don't have access to a pedal tuner or your banjo is acoustic-only, D'Addario Planet Waves has the answer: the Ned Steinberger (NS) Micro Banjo Tuner. This nifty little chromatic tuner installs stress-free, thanks to its non-marring hoop mounting bracket. It blends right in with your banjo's body profile and can even be left on when the instrument is stored — a plus for all Sweetwater banjo players. The NS Micro Banjo Tuner features an easy-to-read, bright, multicolor display for daylight or low-light situations, and the sensitive piezo transducer picks up your banjo's vibes directly for fast, accurate tuning.

D'Addario Planet Waves NS Micro Banjo Tuner Features:

  • Discreet, low-profile tuner blends in with your banjo's aesthetic for inconspicuous use
  • Non-marring hoop mounting bracket means no-hassle installation
  • Easy-to-read, bright, multicolor display works great in daytime or in low-light situations
  • Highly sensitive piezo transducer directly picks up banjo vibrations for fast, accurate tuning
  • Developed in collaboration with renowned designer Ned Steinberger

Reviews

Nice,but...
This is your standard D'Addario tuner, but with a banjo hoop mount, and that's where the but.. comes in. If your banjo has less than 24 brackets, the special mount will not reach two. This works on my Ibanez B300, not my Gold Tone AC12, nor my Deering Goodtime. A small bummer, but at least it works on one of them.
Music background: self teaching
Genius banjo tuner
Just received this as a gift. Works great. Tucked away in between two brackets. So handy because you don't have to take it off and on or worry about misplacing/losing it.
Banjo Tuner GENIUS!
This banjo tuner from D'Addario is pure genius! It fits on the perfect spot on your banjo, tucked away until you need it. All you have to do is flip up the tuner display when you need it ….
Music background: Pro musician over 50 years.
Great Tuner
Perfect for my banjo. Handy location, quick to reach and fast tuner response
Ok, but…
Small, works "okay," but not as easy to determine if correct pitch is reached as the TC Electronic tuner…the graphical display is lacking "indicators" that are as easy to see and interpret as the TC Electronic tuner.

If form over function is your goal, this is probably it. It is small and out of the way.

My $0.02 anyways.
