Harley Benton CTG-20 BK USB Clip Tuner Reviews

Why pay more

A must have ,easy to operate ,can tune different types of instruments , easy to see led lights ,accurate tuning ,comes with a lead, easy to recharge and not worry about batteries, amazing value ,I can't fault .

Does what it sets out to do

It's a nice and simple tuner.

Got it for the USB recharging feature, which great, as I don't have to worry about batteries anymore.

Recommended - it does what is expected.

Focused.

Does what it says on the box. Reliably!

At this price, I could ask for nothing more.

Used for a year, it is a good quality tuner!

No issues so far. The fact that it recharges on USB has saved me a lot of money on batteries. It's very convenient. You can change which instrument you are using it on (i.e, bass, guitar or ukulele) and you can have it tune from A=430 to A=450 so you get a wide range of tuning possibilities. Great tuner!

easy use

easy use used daily and still work after daily six months use the screen look good and clear but the only draw back is that's the battery lasts short time recommend buying

Great value,2 major cons...

The tuner was used on my Cello, Guitar, and Double Bass, And Electric Bass.

PROs:

- 360 Degree of screen rotation.

- Built in USB rechargeable battery.

- PRICE.

CONs.

- Screen is not usable in direct sunlight.

- Pitch response time is slow, and this will be a problem for intonating while playing a fretless instrument (cello,oud,double bass)

To sum it up:

for price it is totally worth it.

the build quality is good, I think it will hold up better than my TC unitune who after year started too develop cracks in the casing(and want out of use due to that).

battery life is on the medium side but again at this price point and size I have no complaints.

Its great for in-door use, or has a back up when your cell powered tuner is out of juice.

*****Screen issue can be resolved by making a DIY hood of some sort*****

Decent tuner

Good little tuner, seems pretty accurate, slight tendency to drift if that makes sense, but for the money it's fine.

Harley Benton comes good again.

I have bought several of this type of tuner over the years and this one is up there with the best of them. It has a very good viewing angle range compared to others. Being chargable via USB is also a great feature and there is no need to find and install awkward button cell batteries. My only issue is that the rotating mechanism seems a bit light and may break easily. Other than that, it cant be beaten for the money.

Great Clip-On Tuner!

No complaints so far and the best feature is that it can be charged through USB.

Battery life is terrible after a year of use

Great idea and wish I could give it a better review, but after fully charging it the battery lasts about 10 minutes and I've hardly used it. Very disappointing.

Excelent!

Small and full with details tuner. High quality product.

HB Clip tuner

Unclear to get a proper reading... am I doing anything wrong?

Or do I need new reading glasses?

Please your reaction...

Solid tuner

Use:

I bought this tuner for ease of use when I dont have access to my tuner pedal.

It is solid tuner and great value for the money. Granted, it does have some problem with lower B string on 7 string guitar but that can be solved by tuning to pinch harmonic on 12th fret.

I have this tuner for couple of years now and battery is still very good. Because I dont use it that often it can hold charge up to 6 months, incredible.

pros:

- solid tuning for 6 or even 7 string

- great value for the price

- battery last forever

cons:

- sometimes it has trouble finding correct pitch

You won't need more!

Tuners are available in every shape and form, and many promise you wow results. Well, I am wowed by this tiny very very useful accurate tuner. This will wow you. Accurate, lightweight, you can clip it to the bass head, responsive, backlit for dark places (and colored!), offers more tuning options for guitar, and other stringed instruments. I have owned this for a year now, I recharged it 4 times only in a year! For less than 10 Euros, this is criminally underrated.

it's small

a little awkward to attach to the headstock at first because it is really quite small. however it fits all my guitars and the display is clear and big enough to see. finding it very easy to use. it is accurate, more than my ears alone.

worth it.

Does it's job, for a fair price

Battery life lasts around 3-4 days of moderate use (10-15 mins per day) and charges up rather quickly and with a still quite popular USB port (microUSB). On the high E string sometimes doesn't register well, but strumm it harder and it's no problem.

Compared to a pedalboard tuner, isn't as precise as expected, but it's close enough, being at most 1 step to tuned.

Good price/performance

Do it's job, good tuner for that kind of money.

Because remembering spare batteries is a pain

I always have a phone charger with me when I travel, however I rarely have a spare little battery for my guitar tuner in my pocket. Finding this well-priced and quality and, most importantly, usb charged guitar tuner is a game changer!

It tunes. It's quick to charge. It's easy to read. I've bought two - one to keep in my gigging guitar bag and one to keep on my rehearsal guitar. Fantastic.

Nice little tuner

Clear and visible display, adjustable at multiple angles.

What an incredible value

I bought this tuner as a part of the bundle with an acoustic guitar. It's not that I needed another tuner (I already have one in my pedalboard, and TC clip-on tuner for my acoustic guitars), but since it cost me next to nothing, I had nothing to lose.

I expected nothing and received a lot! :) It's accurate, you can adjust it to any angle you wish, and the display is very clear and visible. If I lost my TC tuner, I'd be more than happy to use only Harley Benton CTG-20.

All in all, I can only recommend this little tuner. Don't let the low price fool you.
