Perfect

This is a handy little tuner. Much better than the sound based ones I've used. Easy and fast to get tuned up. Rechargeable battery seems to last a long time. Articulating neck & swiveling head allows you to see it at any angle. A must have in my opinion

This is my first clip-on tuner. I bought it as an alternative to my multi effect's built in tuner and to my accoustic guitar tuning app, I especially need it for setting intonation.

I think it's pretty good for the price. The design is fine, it's easy to handle; up to now it does the job well. The USB charging possibility is a great feature.

The only con for me is that the display should be a bit brighter.

It arrived with some scratches on the screen. Fortunately they are so light, that they are invisible when the display is on. Anyway I think it would be good to provide some protection for the display as part of the packaging.

Really a good one!

Really good quality. I use it everyday for study and rehearsal and of course for concerts. It never abandoned me. After more than an year of intense use it still goes great!

From the construction side it's made of plastic, and at first it made me think it would breack easily but now I can say it's really well made and the plastic is of good quality, I don't think it's going to abandone me that easy.

It has several instruments specific settings but I just use the guitar setting and it work fine.

The real plus is the cable for charge and it also has a long life battery. This is the real thing! Even if I have a tuner on board of my guitar and one more and very precise in my pedalboard, when it comes to acoustic concerts the clip has something more usefull that I always go for it, and I never have the nightmare to see the light shut of. When you play in front pf people as a job these are the little things that stats to count.

The only cons i can consider is the front glass that's actually made of thin pvc and one day I forgot the clip on, during the transport inside the guitar bag, I found a breack on the glass. It doesn't affect the use but you know, it was better without. So my 2cent is to put just a little more attention holding it in some safer place.

All in all: really good product!

Essential

Absolutely essential for anyone, has tunings for several instruments, including Bass, Guitar and Uke. rechargeable via USB, so never worry about keep tablet batteries handy.

Easy to use and intuitive display, excellent value for money. I bought something similar maybe 10 years ago and it was 4 times the price.

Superb price for usb charging tuner

The display isn't the brightest but the tuner responds fasts and is precise. Which would already be great for this price, but the best feature of this tuner is the possibility for charging it via usb. I love this, no more buying batteries! It charges pretty fast and battery life is great.

Great value

It's a basic tuner that does the job, but more importantly that does the job without the hassle of ever needing any extra batteries.

you get what u pay for

the only problem I have with this product is that its not accurate, or rather, it takes awhile to be accurate. It is however...CHEAP and does the trick after a half dozen attempts

Takes a little getting used to

This little guy arrived with just a little bit of battery left. Popped it into an open USB slot of my PC (cable is included btw), checked back 2 hours later and it was good to go. Almost a month later and the battery is still fully charged.

I'm a beginner player so this took a little getting used to but works great. I'm happy I paid this little extra for the rechargeable battery.

Does what it's supposed to

Very easy to setup and operate. Once attached, you can adjust the angle in any way you want. Not the highest build quality but better than expected. I would like to see a clear explanation on what should be standard pitch for users not familiar with what the small button does.

A very nice tuner for the price

For the price, it's hard to go wrong on this one. Rechargeable via usb cable, very light and a nice bright color-display. I wouldn't gig with it, but it's nice and convenient to keep it on my practice guitar at home.

OK

Very Ok, for how cheap it is. But not that precise if you're trying to split hairs

PERFECT!!!

It is a very true and sensitive and accurate guitar tuner, which is awesome because you could apply it to just any guitar, acoustic, 12 string, electric, and so forth.

The BEST part, rechargeable battery. AMAZING. I believe this is the only tuner that has that. Very well done! :)

Great in everything but build quality

It does its job nicely and it's easy to use. The color display is really nifty! In chromatic mode you can tune to any tuning you wish, all the most common string instruments. If you left it on, it will switch off after a while, thus sparing battery life.

Anyway, its construction is not sturdier enough to withstand the test of time. The power on/off button may become hard to press after a certain number of operation. The rubber feet are loosely glued. I've lost one, but fortunately the tuner still works.

The tool every guitar player need to practice

This tuner is great. Really precise, usable for a lot of instruments (Guitar, Ukulele, Bass and violin), and the fonction of chromatic tuning is great to try alternative tuning. The best part of this little tool is that you don't need the batteries, it has USB charger. For 8 euros having all of this is just awesome.
