Thomann CTG-10 Clip Tuner 3-stars Reviews

Funny little fella

Can't go cheaper than this. Display is bright, battery included and you can adjust the angle. Lacks a bit of sensitivity and I'm sometimes having trouble with tuning the E string on a bass guitar. If this happens, simply reactivate the tuner and you're good to go. I think of 'him' as a slow guy so I try not to push him too hard. All in all, it serves me well.

Does it's job

It definitely does it's job but it doesn't work all that well in the lower ranges. I found that it helped to use a tuning app on your phone along side the device.

Alright, but not perfect

Swaps between what strings it thinks are being played, but repeatedly playing the strings fixes the issue eventually. For a beginner, it works, even if a bit annoying.

Lightweight and easy to install, but...

Low E string is not detected on my Les Paul.

It doesn’t hear low strings

In noisy environment it doesn’t deliver…

Low strings tuning is problematic mostly. It takes time to ‘forget’ the string tuned before

Can’t tune my bass

The tuner works fine on guitar but can’t tune my bass. I have to find the perfect spot before it works. when I try to tune my bass the tuner will show that the bass is in tune, but it isn’t. I can’t recommend it for bass players but it works fine for guitars.

Good price, not much on performance

Mine is a 7 string

From high E to D it works good and quick

For A and low E the detection is super wonky, sometimes it detects even a valid D for my low E

Low B is completely undetected

As already said in another review: NOT recommended for a bass guitar

II can't say much about the longevity of this item, but it sure is useless for an electric bass guitar as the tuner doesn't catch the lower frequencies accurately.

I packed it back after 10 minutes trying to tune in, then gave it to the kid's neighborhood who is learning guitar.

Serviceable basic tuner!

This one came with a starter kit. There is not much to say about this, it's a serviceable tuner that gets the job done, can either be used with a guitar or bass. I use it as a back-up and it works just fine.

It picks up on the notes easily and it's easy to replace batteries. It does feel a bit flimsy and clunky but it is not really an issue considering that I just use it before my practice sessions.

Low quality but ok for the price

I'm using it for my bass guitar. Its response is very slow and that's pretty annoying. I didn't check for the guitar, maybe it works better.

I like the clamp though.

Može pomoći

Dobro osmišljen, ali smeta mu i manja buka i tada je "zbunjen". U apsolutnoj tišini dobar i brz za više frekfencije, u nižim frekfencijama je sporiji...

Not so great, but for that price.

This Tuner kind of does its Job. Charging works and overall you get your guitar/bass tuned. However finish is not very nice and additionally the thing sometimes just doesn't react. For the price probably OK, but I will upgrade to something proper soon.

Not that good

My phone apps do better job

Not so good

You can get better for free in your phone.

It's cheap but...

I use it with electric bass. It does its job but it is a bit slow and some times it is having a hard time to catch the vibration especially of the "E" string. The clip is ok, it stays in its place and the screen turns from blue to green when you are in tune.

If you want a reliable - more "professional" tuner you should think about spend some more and look somewhere else.

Gets the job done with a little patience

Overall gets the job done. Sometimes feels little slow (i found myself muting strings and waiting for display to stop showing the note and then plucking again) and on E string most of the time it doesnt register it at all and then suddenly appears for split second. (but in short search thats common for bass)

Slow responce

Better than nothing but a slow response so I replaced it.

Disappointing

My model is dark the most of the time just emmitin a briht light when you hit the right sound. If you're trying to tune your guitar in the dark, it can be very challenging. Tunning itself could be faster.

I've had better results with a mobile phone app.

Too inaccurate

I was looking for something more convenient than my Korg CA2, and a clip-on tuner seemed like a good idea.

This one was not so good, as it oftens shows the wrong string; G when I'm trying to tune D, and so on. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the string for a long time for it to appear correctly on the tuner.

So this particular tuner is not more convenient to use than my Korg CA2.

It is also not as accurate and reliable as the CA2.

On the positive side: it is small, the features are OK, and it is very easy to handle.

Perhaps I should try a bigger brand, but I don't feel like sinking more money into this clip-on idea.

So I'm back to using my CA2 ...

Basic

It's ok, but slow and I could only get it to work with standard E-tuning.
