Thomann CTC-50 Black Reviews

Great tuner

it's accurate and the display is easily visible.

Regarding the price it's built sturdy and well.

Overall a great product which I can highly recommend.

Does what it should

Cute little tuner that tunes the way it should.

There's plenty of modes to pick from allowing it t be used for varying instruments. have been using this one for guitar, bass and ukulele without too much hassle.

It works

simple and handy

I was looking for a cheap tuner that doesn't need cable and that could fit different instruments.

This little tuner is exactly what I need, it has different settings for guitar, bass, viola etc. It works perfectly, it's small: very cost effective.

Perfect pitch, bad display orientation

The tuner works perfectly, my acoustic guitars feels like a hole in harmonics areas. But the problem comes with the rotation of the screen. Sometimes is hard to read because the angle.

Excellent value tuner

This tuner really is excellent and represents great value.

It is very similar to a Snark tuner I have but I must say I prefer this tuner.

It grips well onto the headstock and gives great angles for visibility with it's twisting construction. Excellent.

Does what it says it will

Easy to use, clear and acurate.

It's a Tuner

Clips on, responds quickly in chromatic tuning mode, easy to read screen. Just what you need.

works even on 6 string bass / 8 string guitar

this neat little tool works wonders. i've used it to tune 8 string guitar, 6 string bass without problem. it's easy to use, handy and accurate.

Nice little tuner.

Decent little tuner that is a good price and looks cool.

Not sure how long it will last as made of plastic but seems to be holding up.

Good

does what it should Do.

Good value for money

It's a good clip-on tuner with different modes such as Guitar, Bass, Ukelele, and Chromatic. The display is colourful and bright. Easily readable even in bright lights. The display can be rotated and tilted and provides a very good ergonomic position.

The material quality is average. The tuner works well with my bass guitar but not as good as a Plug-in Tuner.

Good for the price

The hinges are not as tough as in my Fender or Planet Waves tuners but the spring clip is. During the first couple of days something inside it made a faint buzzing sound when I played certain notes but this has stopped now.

Sometimes it hesitates for one or two seconds before registering the note but that is resolved if it's clipped somewhere else on the headstock. The on/off switch is situated at a convenient place. The screen is large and bright.

The luminous needles on the screen show the pitch with enough accuracy but not as finely as the Planet Waves (three times the price) or the Fender (twice the price). However the display is precise enough to set an intonation if I also listen carefully.

I trust my other tuners a little more but it can be done with this one, too. At times it does not display the right note, say an A instead of an E, but it indicates the right pitch anyway, I guess it mixes up some harmonics but it doesn't matter, and other tuners also do that sometimes. The letters are big and bright.

I like the satin but not toyish bright color, and the plastic is not slippery. It works with my bass, too, without having to change the mode. I keep it on my desk all the time because not all my guitars have their own tuner. For only 7 euros battery included I'm happy with it.

Edit: I pulled the battery out and rubbed both sides on rough fabric for a minute. Put it back in and the digital needle doesn't fluctuate anymore. Seems that a greasy film or some oxidation on the battery reduced the power coming out of it.

Visible Tuner

This tuner lets me see the display well, and it is precise. It gives the same quality as expensive ones, from big names.

A handy small tuner.

This will clip to any headstock, which is really handy. Tunes basses, acoustic guitars and electric guitars very effectively. Travels well. Will need a supply of the flat, round lithium batts. though - it runs down quickly if you leave it turned on.

great value

clear and easy to use, great price!

really liked it!

Surely a value for money product! It is accurate enough and has a nice bright screen.

The only downside is that, it's a bit difficult to rotate and you have to do it gently!

Does the job

Nice looking little clip tuner. Works well with electric guitar, classic guitar and ukulele. Bright and easy to read display. Clips well and doesn't scratch the head, thanks to rubber shielding. Very easy to use!

Only negative thing is the joint which turns only in two ways, would be better with ball joint. Not a big problem, if problem at all.

Really poor quality plastic

The plastic is of really poor quality. The top part broke of one the first fall from a really small height (a little over a meter).

Very responsive.

Very responsive indeed. I like the clip ons cause the are much easier and flexible to use.

Got a lot of settings, also the chromatic tune.

Very responsive, You can see how fast the tuner is measuring. Gives You a nice possibility to "zero in" on the exact tone.

The display can be sometimes hard to read cause of the display installed, especially in pure daylight outside. It could have more contrast but it is nothing You cannot live with.

Pure red plastic is just a fancy stuff :) It does not give You 10 more horse power like in cars but looks do matter ;)

Clip works ok, not to hard, not to soft. Just right.

will buy one for each guitar i have

This is very useful, works perfectly and has many features (you can choose the instrument, the frequency, the mode, etc...)
