Thomann CTG-10 Clip Tuner 2-stars Reviews

Poor choice for bass

Rarely pics up open E or A, but small and cheap. Decently accurate.

Broken

Worked fine when i first tried it out, not even a day later it simply won't turn on. Even tried replacing the batteries .

Nope.

It's 2024 and this device does not "auto off". Buy yourself a huge pack of batteries!!

Works, but not able to recognize E-string

Not able to detect E string on guitar and bass guitar :(

Not very good

I bought this to use with my bass and Ukulele, the tuner struggles a lot to identify the pitch on both instruments. So it works poorly both for high and low frequencies.

You get what you payed for, it is cheap so it works cheaply.

I would recommend investing 10 euros more and getting a CPT-20.

Verarbeitung leider mangelhaft.

Der Deckel vom Batteriefach geht viel zu leicht und damit oft ungewollt auf.

not good

looks nice, affordable, easy to use, but it is not working on dreadnought acoutic guitar as it should be. not sensitive enough so very often can't recognize string vibration at all or it is very slow.

wouldn't recommend it.

Very cheap, would be better off paying a small premium and getting one that works.

This tuner is okay, it functions alright on my acoustic guitar and is usable in those circumstances but I have found that for use on my electric guitars it was far too inconsistent with picking up that a note is actually being played. While this could be an issue with my specific guitars, I feel it's unlikely given all 3 had the same issue.

I ended up having to go buy a different one for about £10 and that has worked much better, this one now sits in my acoustic case as an "emergency backup" although I'd still rather use a phone tuner than this.

it is unreliable for gig use ..it doesnt react well on bass guitar.little better on electric..this is for use on a rehearsal but even then sometimes it acts like it is a mess..confusing G and D strings.. i think it is good for home use or at some party when you play just for fun.it is cheap so it is usable but not for serious use..would be afraid to go on a live play with this

Not that great

I have difficulty tuning my guitar with this. It doesn't always detect my guitar's pitch and keeps flicking from on note to another. Quite frustrating to use.

It doesn't recognize my low E on the guitar!

Cheap but unstable

Easy handling but my unit is unprecise and very slow to use. It's ok for the money but I won't buy it again.

Not the best.

I'm not sure if I got a bad one but it struggled to actually register the notes.

Found it be more hassle than it's worth to use. Mine might have been a dud but I wouldn't buy another.

I wanted a fair tuner

But, I got a "detuner". My tuner interprets the B-string rather incorrect. When I used the tuner and tuned my guitar after it, it sounded awful (at least mine did.) But, after analog correction (them good ol' ears) I'm ready to shred again.

Not the most accurate thing

Its cheap, it gets the job done but its not very accurate and pleasing to use.

It has 3 modes, one for bass and 2 for guitar: a simple EADGBE tuner and a chromatic tuner for alternate tunings, nice but the its very inacurate specially on the chromatic side if you down tune, it just keeps on wondering without giving you immediate and exact result. Its cheap so i guess its ok, but i would not rely on this tuner if like me you use alternative tunings.

Not horrible for the price

mine is very flakey, like it frequently tells me the wrong note or wont pick up notes at all. it will get the job done but you've gotta be patient with it.

It's pretty bad

It's missing note names and its always correct

Jittery and unreliable

Don't buy this tuner ~ I found it pretty jittery and unreliable when tuning my banjo. It's very easily knocked out of whack by environmental sound, no good at a gig!

Cheap, but unfortunately not really usable

I’ve owned Clip tuners before and their operation was super easy - hit a string, tuner picks up the note, and as you tune the led needle goes sharp or flat until you’re spot on.

This one is suppose to do the same, but unfortunately as you tune it doesn’t keep that note ‘alive’ on screen so you can’t see if you go up or down, and definitely can’t see when you’re in tune. You have to keep stroking that same string again and again to see how far you’ve come along towards that green confirmation that you’re in tune.

It also doesn’t even pick up the right string most times, which is really strange and frustrating.

Maybe mine is defected, who knows, I’ve seen some really good reviews here, so hopefully no one else has that problem. I guess you could expect that for the very cheap price.

Very cheap but quite erratic

I find the tuner to be too erratic to be useable. Even when taking outmost care to make a clear pick of a string, the pointer is oscillating back and forth erratically. I saw a movie of someone using it more successfully, so maybe I got a defect one or it's something with the resonance of my guitar that makes it unusable.
