The best guitar tuner I have ever used. I have one for over 15 years, it's still working like new. Now I have bought the new one to have 2 of them :)

great tuner!

Very affordable, but still Boss quality. Not much more you can ask for in a headstock tuner. Accurate and easy to use.

I love these tuners!!

They are so handy and great value for money. I just leave them either on the headstock of my bass, or on my mike stand when playing live. Actually, I've three of them at present, and I just leave them in the case with my guitars. When my bandmates saw this tuner and tried them out, they bought some also to use with mandolins and acoustic guitars. Yep, the TU10 gets my vote..

Nice Tuner

Very nice gadget. Only down side for me is that display is a bit small, but if your eyes are in good condition (not like mine) I guess you won't notice that downside.

Not for Bass in group settings

Works great at home. Fails miserably in rehearsal room due to interference from other sounds (when I got my bandmates to stay quiet while I tuned, worked fine). Going back to my Snarks.

As far as clip on tuners go this one is excellent!

Great for most guitars. It won't be a 100% secure fit on all headstocks but no clip on tuner is. Good grip, sits nicely in place on MOST headstocks, easy to handle. Not a lot of features but in my opinion that's a good thing for this type of product. The less clutter the better.

Triggering and tuning accuracy is very good for a clip on. Not as precise as a strobe tuner of course but for tuning on stage or at rehearsals that's just a positive. Trying to tune a guitar perfectly on stage with an ultra precise strobe tuner can be a frustrating experience for both musicians and the audience!

I wouldn't use this tuner for adjusting intonation. It's not precise enough for that. But it's great whenever you need fast, convenient tuning and it's precise enough for most situations.

Not quite as good for basses though. It struggles a bit with the E-string on some basses and is borderline useless for a 5-string. Still, no worse than any other clip on tuners I've tried.

The display is pretty good. In most situations the monochrome setting will work fine but on dimly lit stages you may have to use the full color display, which will drain the battery a bit faster. It will still last a reasonably long time though.

The build quality is very good for the price. I've dropped it on hard floors on many occasions and it's still working perfectly.

A real working man's tuner. If may not be the most precise but it's precise ENOUGH for most situations, works flawlessly for most guitars and can handle life on the road.

Highly recommended!

Very easy to use

Does the job.

Minor vibrations when playing... need to be careful when clamping it to the guitar.

Good it uses CR-2032... pretty standard in many other devices I have at home.

Does its job well

I use this on classical spanish guitar and electric guitar.

+ fast readout

+ accurate

+ you can use it quietly as it works by vibration of the headstock

- a bit more expensive than some other clip-on tuners

Very handy, very clear and very accurate.

Fits well in your pocket or case if you have to take it to a gig.
