You can’t change the hertz!! Stopped working in 2 weeks

I guess it’s 440 but you can’t change it :(

After 2 weeks it doesn’t turn on anymore.

Fantastic value for the money.

It probably can’t get any more affordable than that and yet everything works just fine. It is easy to read and while being ultra light and made of plastic, it seems quite durable and makes impression it will last a while.

For some reason, I got this particular model in a mandolin bundle, but despite being intended for wind instruments, it works well with all string instruments I have lying around.

EDIT: After using it for a while and comparing it with other tuners I found this one to be rather insensitive and slow responding.

Nice

Not perfect but the best cheap clip tuner I've tried. Lacks precision with downtunes

Small digital tuner

can be clipped (and rotated, tilted,...)

You can choose the scale (C, Eb, BB, F?)

Possibly slower then my guitar tuners or could be that Saxophone notes are not that stable

Does the job.

Will see the battery (2032) life.

Nice little tuner, does the job

Very good little electronic tuner, I used it to tune a pentatonic harp and a psaltery. It works very well.

For this fair price, I can definitely recommand it.

I am satisfied!

It really couldn't get simpler. Clip on, and press the button when you want to tube. For me, this is great because I used to bring a tuner pedal...

I use this tuner at home, for practice.

This little piece is very useful and accurate. Clip it on your guitar, tune until the screen is green, and rock on.

Nothing much to say about it. Does what it's supposed to do.

It's a great tuner for bass, guitar, ukulele.

it does not work very well at 5 strings basses. Sometimes i cannot tune my B string.

Afterall it's a good tuner and it worth all its money

Works really well

I bought this tuner,more out of curiosity than anything else,as i wasn't sure if it would work with my flute,but it's cheap enough to take the risk.The only drawback with it in my view,is that it could do with a flexible arm on it,as when it's clipped to the flute,unless you have eyes on the side of your head like a horse,the screen is difficult to see.The fact that it lights up green when it is in tune does help in this respect,but it's still a bit awkward.I've checked the tuning with my trusty microphone type tuner,and it's spot on.If you are a player of an instrument where you can see the screen more easily,this is well worth buying,as using microphone based tuners in noisy places is a nightmare.

Simple but very effective

This tuner works from the vibration it senses rather than "hearing" the sound so it needs to be be clipped to a fixed part of the instrument. It works very well and it is great that the key can be changed so I can use it on my cello, trumpet, saxes and french horn. I have found it to be very accurate and fast in response. It is small and easily fits into any case, it's so cheap you can get one for every instrument. If you need a great tuner at a silly cheap price this is the one for you!

Excellent tuner

This tuner is easy to fit, easy to use, easy to read. It fits on tubing (rather than the bell) and so can stay in place even in the instrument case. It is a good accessory to help play better in tune.

OK really!

given its price, this product is not that bad! It do helps to see if you play the note right (I am new abortionist). But, when you play two or three notes together this tuner does not always "follow" you...

Great tuner great price

These are great little tuners. I have had one of these for a few years now. Let me tell you something - I have a real problem with my eye sight and competitive tuners are very difficult for me to read. These ones are crystal clear, are accurate and easy to turn on and off. Another little feature I like about them is that they auto switch off after a certain amount of time. Seems like an obvious thing but I had a fender one which never did so the batteries quickly wore out

Battery life is pretty good (depends obviously on how much you use it) I gig 2-3 times a week and the batteries last a bout a year but they are standard watch batteries which cost a few pennies to replace so no need to break the bank

At this sort of price Iwould buy a few (I usually do) as they have a tendency to be borrowed and forgetfully not returned

Great tuner, great price and very clear if you have problems with your eyesight
