PolyTune Clip Tuner : A superb little tuner, with a couple of caveats.

7 years ago

I use my Polytune Clip all the time, and of all my tuners (and I have owned a lot) it is my favourite. However, I am only going to give it four out of five because of a couple of things.

One; the polytune (all the strings at once) function is ok, but I wouldn't trust that alone when playing live or recording. It's not really possible to check all the strings accurately. I always use the single string mode to tune up, and it is excellent at that.

Two; the casing is plastic, and a small crack developed where it is very thin around the on button. This messed around with the function of the unit, and I had to take it apart, superglue the crack and put it back together again. It works fine, but it was an annoyance.

In summary; this is a great and accurate clip on tuner, but the poly gimmick isn't for me. It has a design flaw in the case, and at this kind of price I cannot justify five stars.
