Excelent tuner

I works properly even on low E on a bass guitar. Amazing.

Excellent for the price

I use this tuner with my classical and electric guitar when I'm at home. My acoustic already has a built in tuner, so I rarely use it with this guitar. Every time I review a product, the "value for money" factor plays a very important role to my review. With this tuner the "value for money" factor is 5/5. But the cost of this tuner is not the only reason I give it a total 5/5. It just does everything that I tuner needs to do. I never used it in a noisy environment to see how well it will work, but that's not my intended use. I didn't bought it for that but if that's your intended use, you may need to look elsewhere.

Pros:

- Fast and accurate tuning

- Works great on all of my guitars(one acoustic, one electric and one classical)

- Compact size

Cons:

- Nothing so far

Honestly for 4 euros you can't go wrong with this tuner. The only thing that I regret is that I didn't bought 1-2 more to have just in case I lose this.

Easily in tune

I used it on guitars and basses without any problems, tunes great, the price nice, affordable to everyone - so please no excuses when you are out of tune

Good option. Won't let you down

Good clip on tuner. You won't get a better option for the price. It's plastic and lightweight but it will not let you down. Tuning is pretty accurate when compared to rack-mount tuners too. Handy even to keep in your guitar case for emergencies.

Great little tuner

This tuner does the job, and does it well, I was impressed at how small it actually was. Tuning my new bass was a breeze using the "bass" setting. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a cheap and small tuner that can go anywhere with them.

Budget tuner, working well

It works perfect for the price. Even in a noisy pub I had no problems tuning my guitar. Response is little slower, but again fair for the price.

Does exactly what it needs to do!

I use this product for my ukulele and acoustic guitar. It clips on easily.

The battery lasts long.

I've compared the tuner to other tuners, pedals and ones inside a DAW and found it to be very accurate.

Great tuner!

Easy to use, inexpensive pratical tuner. Easy to hide behind the headstock so it's not visible from the point of view of the audience.

Amazing tuner for the price.

You'll never find a better tuner for this price. Just buy it!

it works. fits in pocket and easy to use

It works. Easy for use for a beginner. It shows green color when the string is tuned. The H string is also called a B-string (notice there are 2 names for that string).

It is the best price/value guitar tuner.

However it was out from the packaging when I received, but it works.

Must have on any guitar!

Simple use. Quite accurate compared with line tuners. Rubber like material feels good. Nice feature is the backlit color change when you are in tune! Absolute vfm!

Great product.

Simple,useful and great price for that quality.I've used it for one year and it hasn't let me down yet.

Simple

Bass, Guitar, whatever, this works in all the things I need.

Simple, and beautiful, it works anywhere I need and the head works quite well.

About the build quality, for a plastic tuner, it's really not bad, it's sturdy but I'm a bit afraid that in time the head won't be so stable.

In the end, for the price and quality I really recommend this tuner ! 10/10

Simple and Easy to use

Got this for my first Bass guitar, never having used one before.

I leave it in place on my guitar and find it perfectly easy to use. For the price I can't fault it.

easy to use, simple and cheap but excellent. I recommended to any guitarplayer

Can't beat this price

Just as good as a Snark tuner. I've have a few of these, one for each guitar; acoustic, 2 electrics and bass guitar and they have all been excellent which great battery life!

Beware of Expensive Imitations

*** Update: 12th Nov 2o2o ***

I stand by what I wrote in my earlier review with the exception of the final three words: End of, right?; cos it wasn't; the end of the matter, I mean. In fact, it never is when you're a contemporary musician. There is no end (other than...), just perpetual change.

Simply put, I quickly outgrew the need for a simple tuner as described below. I was now in the land of pedal boards and that means: Well, check out my review for the Boss TU-3 and you'll see what I mean... end of, right? - unlikely; very unlikely.

*** Original Review ***

A good friend of mine recently paid a small fortune for a very similar piece of kit. Don't get me wrong: It works well; it is fit for purpose; it assists with tuning a guitar; he is happy.

Now, I have seldom found myself in need of a tuner before, for one simple reason: Just like many other guitarists and bassists, I can tune a guitar or bass perfectly well by ear. I do concede that, on occasions, I would ask my keyboard player for a "middle C", just to make sure but, other than that; no, there was no justification for such an accessory; especially at the prices I was being quoted.

However, I now find myself playing bass in a band with a compliment of three relentlessly noisy guitarists. Therefore, rather than having to utter a continuous stream of expletive ridden edicts, telling them to shut up, so I can check my tuning, I decided to buy this little tuner.

And, like my friend, I am happy. Why?; because, despite costing a fraction of the price of certain expensive imitations, it also works well; it is also fit for purpose; it also assists with tuning a guitar, bass, etc., or any other of a huge range of musical instruments.

Simply put, there's no real excuse for not being able to tune your instrument, although I meet many who can't, allegedly. But, if you find yourself in circumstances similar to my own, beware of expensive imitations. It's a tuner! Pay a small ransom, should you so desire, but surely a fit for purpose, incredibly well priced option, such as the CTG-10 Clip Tuner is the best way to part with your hard earned cash. Of course, it's your call but, take my advice: if needs be, get yourself one of these little beauties. Easy to use and great value. End of, right?
