Harley Benton CTG-20 BK USB Clip Tuner 5-stars Reviews

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.

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.

Just the Job!

Easy to use with a clear display.

Charges via USB

Brilliant value for money

Everything is convenient and works fine. The color display is clearly visible in any light.

Works fast and accurate, didn't have any issues with it.

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.

Very good!

Way more convenient than battery operated tuners.

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.

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! :)

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.

Excelent

Surprised by the quality and handling of the tuner. Accurate and small and very nice to handle. Charging with a phone charger is a bonus.

Quite a nice idea

Now, headstock clip-on tuners are nothing new. They are aound for long enough to be cheap as chips and similarily reliable and abundant. But most of those need a CR2032 or similar battery. Even though those batteries last quite a while, it's annoying to have them run empty just when you need your tuner.

The CTG-20 is running on rechrgeables, rechargeable by mini-USB. Which solves the problem of empty CR2032 cells.

Additionally, it is very precise and it comes with all important bells and whistles. You can select between chromatic and instruments tuning, you can fine tune the reference and you get a cent display of your tuning. So, if you follow Taylor tuning with b exactly 12 cent low ... this is the tuner for you. Well, not only for you, but foe anyone, who needs a clip-on headstock tuner.

Stay tuned !

Very accurate, uses very little power, and charges quickly.

Easy and cheap

Extremly cheap and easy to use. No brainer.

Very accurate

This tuner is really accurate. Compared it to other tuners.

Also, the visuals are good and most importantly it responds immediately most of the time. (When not it is probably due to harmonics and overtones interfering).
