Snark Clip on Chromatic Guitar Tuner

Extremely accurate and exact tuner

Having taken a few years off playing guitar due to illness, it's come as suprise to me how far some pieces of equipment have moved on. We have DI boxes that actually sound good, we have tiny all valve practice amps and we have super advanced (and sometimes bizarre) tuners. The Snark is an excellent example of the latter - a small, weird looking tuner that you simply clamp onto you guitar (or other instrument) to tune via vibration.

Despite some fiddle getting the battery seated (read the manual, you actually have to place the battery in the mounting not just jam it in the slot) and being skeptical of how well the Snark would work, I have to say I'm impressed. The display is beautifully clear, the tuning accurate (it even senses 12th fret harmonics) and it's easily small enough to have kicking around in your guitar case. To top it off, it costs virtually nothing.

I can't vouch for battery life and it's not the sturdiest piece of kit ever made so I'm not sure I would use it as my only tuner in a live environment. It will make a brilliant backup to a posh tuner pedal though and for home/studio/rehearsal use I don't think it can be faulted. Do yourself a favour and buy one, if not several!

Very easy to use, tuning done in no time at all.

Great tuner, quick and easy!

I have tried a number of 'Clip-on' guitar tuners in the past and found them disappointing, due in part to having had a BOSS TU-12 on my pedal board for as long as I can recall.

The Snark was recommended by your salesperson, and has proved to be excellent and reliable with accurate string tracking.

The metronome is a useful added bonus.

Its great to buy something and find that it actually DOES what it 'says on the box'.

Very impressed with this! Admittedly this is my first clip on tuner but I don't know how i lived without one. The display is very clear and the space age look of it is really cool. IT seems very accurate and I would heartily recommend it. I have only used the audio mode to tune (also has a vibration method) and just for info the metronome is visual only, there is no tone, but it is a nice bonus.

came in a bundle with guitar purchase at the same time, very useful addition

Good little clip on tuner. Works great on my accoustic but not too well on the electric which i thought it would do considering how it works. The metranome has no sound only alittle flashing heart which isnt much good if you want it for that but i my be wrong in that it has sound.

Overall as a tuner its great but the other features need to be abit better thought of.

Stylish and easy to use. I am a complete beginner and had no problem tuning my bass. Just pop it onto the headstock and pluck the string and adjust accordingly. Also went on you tube to get additional help.

Great value for money,One of the smartest tuners I have tried, Simple to operate and clear visual display. Highly recommended.

I bought this when my mate turned up with one, I have several tuners but the Snark was not only a great design but more importantly - It does was it's supposed to do, it keeps my guitar in tune! And its so easy to use, for a start it stays in place! and its easy to turn on and off, no fumbling about trying to find a tiny switch in dark! The crowning glory is the display, no flashing LED's, just a simple dial with solid colours that gives an accurate reading - when you want it. Definitely my 'buy' of the month..

Good value for money, easy to use, responsive and as far as my ears go, accurate.

Does need careful positioning on headstock when in 'vibration' mode.

Happily recommended.

Great product. Not jumpy like some others can be. Very very clear.
