tc electronic PolyTune Clip Tuner Reviews

Good and simple tuner

Works very well. But after the concert I have to remove the battery otherwise it will be empty one day.

Maybe I got a defective product and only my tuner will do this way.

Great tuning but build quality not as good

More suitable for electric guitars, though also works on classical, but the clip gets really high on tension, as on classical guitars the wood is bigger. Still fits though.

pros & cons

Works great from the get go, even without reading manual. Just put on headstock and strum. It detects even lighter strums that other tuners do not. Great feature is that if you strum all strings, it gives you feedback for all of them, that probably the best feature.

The clip and front are aluminum, but the back and the battery door are plastic and not very good on mine. On one side the plastic cover has a tiny gap. The major problem with mine is that the battery does not fit well, and you have to push the plastic door to fit it, and after that the plastic is all flimsy.

Overall I do recommend it, but have in mind you might get one with problem on the plastic. I think if they made all aluminum there will be no warping and this will be the best tuner of all time.

Great tuner

I have been using it for about two years. I am absolutely happy about it. It is a great tuner :-)

From the low B to guitar tuning...

Extremely practice and very accurate both with bass and guitar.

Excellent clip on

I much prefer a clip on tuner to a pedal tuner. I rarely if ever use pedals, even distortion. I've had a couple of clip on tuners before. Just cheap ones from an auction site, which have performed well enough. When this came out, I was eager to try it, to see what all the fuss was about. I've never used a tuner that checks all the strings at once, and to be honest, I still tune one string at a time with this. The display is much larger and clearer, tuning one at a time, and it's what I'm used to. To be honest, I found the all at once option a little confusing, and reverted back to my preferred method. That said, I find the tuner easy, and clear to use, and as far as I can tell, it's really accurate. I seem to hit the note quicker, and there seem to be more play on the machine heads, so it's easier to get it bang on, first time. With the cheap ones, I was going sharp, or flat, and having to detune, and go again. I don't get that with this tuner. The only slight grumble is the slightly utilitarian look of it, it's a bit plasticky looking, and it doesn't swivel, like the others I've used. These are just minor things, though, and I really like using it.

Accurate Guitar Tuner

I was looking for the most accurate tuner I could find for my electric and acoustic guitars.

Having had other tuners that were not very accurate.

Pros: Very accurate control, consistent and compact.

Cons: Does not swivel, so you can't view readings as well as you would like.

Sturdy, tiny and working.

I finally found a tuner that would stick with me. It's very robust and easy to use and as it is tiny you can hide very easily behind the guitar head for example.

Poor quality

Stopped working when in use. No drops or mishandling. Correct usage of battery. Just died. Good features, but under par quality.

Must have device for any guitarist

Cannot say much about this product - it's a tuner, it's stable and works well. Looks cool, sits stable on the headstock of the guitar.

Personally I don't use the PolyTune capability much, but I guess it works.

If I lost it I would buy a new one immediately.

Great tuner

This tuner is absolutely fantastic exept maybe for the fact that there could be a joint to rotate the tuner on the clamp, but maybe it's more durable without it and cheaper. I love it!

Very professional item

This is very professionall tuner and I used it in a lot of situations where I need to tune my instrument fast and precise. This display lighting are very beautifull and unique. Very recommended really! Thank you.

Very good tuner - even for bass guitars

After using two budget clip-on tuners (And being disappointed) I decided to invest on this device and I have not regret.

Where cheaper clip on tuners struggle even with Bass guitars E -string, this device does not have any problems in showing the tuning of my B -string on the 5 string Bass.

As a light-weight and reliable device this has become a permanent part of my gig bag.

Highly recommended.

Tuner is just a tuner? No!

Throughout last 5 years I've been using cheap guitar tuners. I decided to buy something more expensive to see if there is any difference and... I don't know why I didn't do it before.

This tuner is simply amazing, precise, fast and really easy to read LED display. Everything works as advertised so can't complain about anything really.

Also another nice feature is it came with free plugin which normally costs around $50 on their website.

I would highly recommend this tuner to everyone. Totally worth the money.

Great Tuner

Great tuner, a little bit pricer than most clip on tuners but the quality shows and proves it's worth

The best!

Used daily for over a year now with 0 issues, never needed a floor tuner thanks to this and have band members lusting after their own!!

Like father, like son

Just as fantastic as TC Electronic PolyTune tuner 2. You never get wrong with TC tuners.

Best Clip Tuner by Far

I have tried a variety of clip on tuners, and this is the best by far. Quick, accurate, good visibilty and a substantial clip make this a best in class.

TC Electronic PolyTune Clip Tuner

Great tuner. I use it on my bass and classical guitar. Very accurate but when i'm tuning my bass sometimes it has trouble distinguishing E form B. But overall very accurate and reliable tuner! Would recommend. Btw it comes with a battery in the box (Atleast my unit came with one)

Excellent tuner

Very good readability. The polyphonic tune is something that you needto get used to, but makes it all quite easy.

quick and useful

definitely works well, very clear reading, but sometimes refuses to switch off/on because button is fiddly
