Good

I'm using it with my acoustic guitars.

Very flexible, small so you can bring it easy. Very cheap.

Has nice idea, blue screen while not in tune, and green when string is tuned well. Super easy for use, nothing to think just start and pick strings. It shows string number or string note, as you wish.

But I'm not satisfied sometimes with it's response, I'm struming and it shows nothing. I have to restart it so it can tune again.

All in all, usable thing for home usage or somewhere were isn't loud. Tuning better than phone apps.

Best for tight budgets

Not the most accurate BUT for tight budgets the best you can get!

It's fine because it's cheap

I use it for my guitars and bass.

I wouldn't say that it's particularly precise or fast at getting notes, but it works. For the price it comes though it's fine, you can't pretend much from a 4¤ tuner!

I would recommend this for home use only, cause it's quite slow.

While it works kinda fine with my guitars, it has some hard times with my bass, but again if if you keep on plucking the strings it will get the notes eventually.

Forget to use it live or on stage, it will let you down!

At this price range there's no other choice and to be honest I would buy this again because the price.

Very Useful Tuner

Pro:

Clips on very easily on all my guitars

Can be positioned so that you can read it easily

Has a clear indication when you are in tune (the backlight goes from blue to bright green)

Can be used on guitar and bass standard tunings or chromatically

Con:

Sometimes it seems to take a while to respond to changes in pitch. I can hear the pitch going up but it doesn't immediately change its reading unless you silence the guitar and pluck again

Not very robust - but that is reflected in the price

Overall:

Although there may be quirks you have to get used to, it is cheap, looks good, is reasonably well-made and does the job.

It's not the best tuner but it does the job

I bought a slightly more expensive yamaha tuner, I have this as a backup.

Quite decent thing

Works as intended and is quite sensitive regardless of where it's placed on the headstock. The measuring seems accurate and it's nice having the chromatic tuner along with the bass and guitar. The battery seems to last forever, after a year of almost daily use it's till running. Why pay more if this little device gets the job done?

does the job, but not as good as a digital one

Small and Robust

Seems to have been built to last.

Good backlight display even on low battery.

Though features are minimal and somehow not 100% precise and does the job its suppose to do , accurately.

I would say its a Value for Money item and would recommend to anyone with a low budget.

Does what it says on the tin

Pretty good for the price, only supports standard tuning as a preset, but you can activate chromatic mode if you need something more specific. It doesn't work very well with the low E string on a bass I've found, so take care if you're using this to tune your bass.

It's working well

I recently bought this tuner. It worths that money totally.

Good for guitar but bad for bass

For its price, it is a great tuner, but sometimes it has trouble with lower strings, especially E and A on bass

It does the job!

It simply does the job as it should! I use it for my guitars and basses under any circumstances. For that price you get your job done correctly and i even use it more than my TC polytune as it is more practical.

Perfect tuner for this price range

This is a simple and easy tunner to use, it nice and compact, clips on firmly. It is also very durable since a have droped it a few time already, it also uses a battery which is included. Only con is that when i tune with it it feels little bit laggy, but still it does not take too much time.

Good Little tuner when they work

I've owned and lost a few of these tuners over the years and they have been pretty good until the last example which doesn't always register the note you are trying to tune to. e.g. you can be tuning your A string and be almost in but the display registers D. like it's picking up a harmonic or something. This can be frustrating.

VERDICT: Good tuner for the money but there are bad examples.

Cheap as chips but the flavour lasts

Get one for all your guitars at this price. They work well.

Good low priced tuner

I bought this tuner for my granddaughter to go with her new Harley Benton guitar. The one thing you need from any tuner is accurate measurement. I'm happy to say that the CTG-10 matched up to my more expensive tuners, and is well calibrated.

Nice device for a low price.

Surprisingly good

I bought this for a student and ended up buying one for myself as it has proven to be quite good especially considering the price. It is very easy to use, not very fast but for the price it is surprisingly accurate.

Good for the price

This tuner looks good and it's very cheap. It worked really well with my acoustic guitar but for some reason it didn't work very well with my electric guitar. It's a good tuner for standard tuning but it doesn't give options for different tunings. It's good for the price.
