Great for 8 strings

Had problems with pedal tuners to catch the eight string on my guitar. This works great for it. Also tried for other instruments, even tuning a piano.

Slim, beautiful, functional

I am very satisfied with these tuners, in all aspects. This specific mounting method can not hold onto headstock of mu concert ukuleles but it does work with Harley benton tenor.

My only peeve is that there is no mounting base (clip or screw-in) to buy without tuner. If there were any, I would have a number of these mounts on my ukes and basses and probably a third NS Micro tuner.

Well built, overall fine

The construction is good and the design is ingenious – taking up really the least amount of space, tucked behind your headstock. It now permanently lives on my telecaster and unlike the Boss TU-02, it doesn't even fall off or is in the way when I put my guitar in its gigbag.

One area where the Boss TU-02 is still superior in my opinion is its accuracy to track notes. The Daddario PW-CT-12 is more than fine, but it tends to jump between notes here and there, which can be mildly annoying. Overall, however, it's accurate and I trust it.

ADEQUATE…….JUST.

Ok I suppose, but somewhat fiddly, and it didn’t always pick up the notes on some of my many instruments. The display in daylight is not bright enough.

Just about ok for the money, but I would not be rushing to buy another. .

Perfect

smal and perfect, the most important is correct and sensitive enough

Excellent

Easy to use, long lasting battery. Even works in noisy environments.

Put if on my guitar and haven't removed it since

been using it for 6 months. Never had to charge or recharge it. I don't think its the best tuner out there if you want to compare it with expensive high end tuners but for its price you can't go wrong with this one. It'll do the job.

Small, almost invisible

This is my first clip tuner.

It does it's job nicely (for an amateur like me) and it's difficult to notice when attached to the headstock.

However, the joint between the plastic clip and the tuner itself is a bit weak and it has fallen off several times just by slightly hitting an object with the guitar headstock.

Long battery life... not changed in more than a year.

Best designed tuner ever,Amazing

It does'nt matter if you are the best guitarist in the world play a €20grand guitar or a €20 guitar, unless the guitar is in tune you may aswell play the branch off a tree😄😄.. this has to be the best little hidden tuner i ever came across, goes unoticeable so neat accurate tunning the greatest invention in the world ever🤣😂🤣 beats pitch pipes, thats what i had when i started out😆😆 40+ years ago

Decent Tuner

A good standard clip on tuner. Varies in accuracy depending on the instrument used, but fine on most guitars. I am not a huge fan of clip on tuners but this was a good secondary tuner to have. At one point it got dropped and the clip shattered unfortunately so be careful with them, otherwise it's fine.

Cheap and handy

Design:

The most eyecatching feature is its small and compact design. I do not like big ugly designs of tuners attached onto headstock, so i used a tuner pedal until i saw this tuner. That one is just hiding behind headstock and you cannot break it accidentally.

Screen:

It is really small but has a descent screen. I have been using it at home and i can say the brightness is very good. (What about using outside? Dont know honestly...)

Accuracy:

That clip tuner is not as sensitive and accurate as the tuner pedal i used. But its OK for such small and cheap solution.

Quality:

Clip is not strong. It seems as if it will be broken easily. I wish it was metal. But it is plastic unfortunately.

Closure:

When i saw this small design, i checked the price and ordered immediately. At the moment i am using it heapily, it is so handy and i eliminate one pedal from the pedalboard.

Great Tuner

I was looking for efficiency and compactible and definitly this mini tuner got all of that.

The most handy tuner ever

I have this tuner on all my instruments: acoustic (western, classical, 12 string) and electric guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, bass,...

It is very easy to use, tunes very accurately, completely unobtrusive and always reliable.

This is a very good and recommended product !!! Every stringed player should at least have one of these.

Small but strong

This is a great little tuner that you can have out of sight on any guitar. It's not fancy but it does everything that it's supposed to. I have it on multiple on my guitars.

Perfect

I bought it because of the small size and it's just the perfect little tuner.

Amazing little tuner

I have one of these on all my stringed instruments now as they work amazingly well for something so small. Most people don't even notice its there.

Another top quality D'addario product. As far as tuning goes it is excellent, easy to use and the battery lasts for ages.

Perfect for the price

I have several of these, easy to use and do not stick out on headstock.

A must have

It's a great, easy-to-use and accurate headstock tuner.

The perfect tuner for classical guitars

The thick headstocks of most classical guitars make using 'standard' tuners really difficult. This is the perfect solution. Fits like a dream, highly accurate and great value for money!
