If you need a spot-on tuner, that will work on your bass-guitar, regular acoustic or electric guitar, or even your flute or clarinet, then this is the one to get. I have tried it on all of these, and it provides perfect tune in all. I've owned tuners from almost all major manufacturers, and while some come close to the Strobo-clip HD, none have been able to match its speed, accuracy and legibility. It's fantastic to have no lag-time in display, or doubt about which direction to turn the tuning knobs, or in the case of my clarinet, how far in or out to adjust the mouthpiece for a perfect B-flat reference tone. Likewise, for my flute, which on occasion requires a check of the mouthpiece tube/body insertion point. I was hesitant to spend more than the usual amount for a tuner, but some others are nearly as expensive, yet are not nearly as good. I've read a very few bad reviews, but when the source was considered, I realized I had to try a Strobo-Clip for myself. I'm extremely delighted that I did. Now I have a benchmark with which to calibrate all my other tuners, which are mostly of the sound-hole type (Korg Rim-Clip and a smaller one from D'Addario). These can work well on-stage, but can be fussy about where they are placed on the sound hole. Not so with the Strobo-Clip, which works anywhere you can clip it on.! Well, nuff said, take a chance (and with desertcart's easy return policy there is no real difficulty) and try one for yourself... You'll probably come to the same conclusion I did; why didn't I buy a Strobo-Clip years ago? The other features of this product are also great (like sweetened tuning and altered tuning, but honestly, it is alone worth the price just to have the easy of use, and accuracy it provides. Consider poor ratings of this tuner as either extremely rare instances of an issue with the tuner, or more often, improper operation by the end-user. I have had no issues, and the battery-life is certainly as good as any other tuner I've ever had. That is to say, turn it off when you're done; don't wait for auto-shutdown. All in all it'l the best clip-on tuner money can buy, and a bargain when that is considered. Review: Fantastic accuracy, easy to read, Peterson Connect and firmware updates make it very useful - First, one of the advantages of this tuner is that the firmware can be updated. I can't underscore it enough. They had a firmware update recently. I received the tuner a few days ago and immediately updated the firmware with the Peterson Connect web app. The update included an 80% improvement in boot up time...if you go on multiple sites to read reviews of this new tuner that was a major complaint...now solved. They worked on button presses and such as well. Many of the complaints I've read have been solved. Peterson does not come out with new equipment often...I feel confident they will continue to improve the firmware over time. I am having no problems navigating the tuner or using the buttons, etc. The boot up time is comparablec to my other tuners. I really like how you can reorder the different tunings. I play a number of different instruments and having the relevant sweetened tunings all at the top arranged in frequency of use is great. I have a number of other tuners: TC's Polytune Clip, Korg's Sledgehammer Pro, Planet Waves NS Micro, and a few Snarks. My previous favorite was the Sledgehammer Pro. It is the BEST tuner for the money - same .1 cent accuracy as Peterson, just no sweetened tunings. If you don't need sweetened tunings and just want a dead accurate, easy to read tuner, go for the Sledgehammer Pro or better yet the Sledgehammer Custom Shop (which took care of the fussy dial problem the original Pro had). They are less expensive and perform VERY well. I got a lovely early 90's Yairi 12 string and wanted to try a sweetened tuning. With the drop in price for the holiday season I thought I'd give this one a try. So glad I did! Works fantastic and the sweetened tuning helps this well-crafted 12 string sing especially well. Now this one is on my 12 string, a Pro is on my upright bass, and TC is on on whatever 6 string I'm playing most right now. The Snarks are only used when I go to an outside jam and don't want to take any chances of losing a nice tuner. The StroboClip HD is an especially good tuner for multi instrumentalists who are fussy about tuning. ## Features - Clip-on Strobe Headstock Tuner with HD Backlit LCD Display ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06ZZX99G8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #968 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #22 in Music Tuning Accessories | | Brand | Peterson | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,206 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00805265500612 | | Item Type Name | Tuner | | Item Weight | 0.08 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Peterson | | Mfr Part Number | 403868 | | Model Number | 403868 | | Tuner Technology | Strobe | | Tuner Type | Strobe | | UPC | 805265500612 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year from peterson. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Peterson - **Color:** Black - **Connector Type:** USB - **Tuner Technology:** Strobe - **UPC:** 805265500612 ## Images ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On StrobeTuner - High Definition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Vt8xXU3KL.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On StrobeTuner - High Definition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DGSMX0DTL.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On StrobeTuner - High Definition - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+Ru2OWz0L.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On StrobeTuner - High Definition - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71filodjH5L.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On StrobeTuner - High Definition - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D1-0p83jL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a preset for dobro?** A: I am not sure exactly what you mean by preset. There are 2 sweetened tunings specifically for dobro, and if you don't want a sweetened tuning you just select the standard (equal temperament) tuning. It just shows you what note you are closest to regardless of how you have your dobro tuned. I used the USB interface to remove all tunings except equal, so I don't have to worry about getting it in a funny mode by fat-fingering the tiny buttons that are all jammed up next to each other (still a sore point with me!). **Q: Can this be used to tune a diatonic harmonica?** A: The clip tuner responds to vibration, so if think you can actually hold a steady note on a harmonica the tuner will read it... the challenge for you will be reading it while it’s clipped on the harmonica. Next, you’re going to have lots of fun tweaking your reeds to accommodate your playing style... good luck with this project! I would suggest an app called ClearTune for your phone, then you can see the notes as you play them on your phone, before spending money on the Petersen. Good luck! **Q: willl this work on a pedal steel my stroboflip led screen died and i dont have the money for a new one?** A: It works well on my steel (2003 Sierra U12) in 90% of circumstances but sometimes has trouble finding the note quickly on stages that have loud subwoofers beneath. But highly recommended anyway! **Q: How do I tune it to have a European violin and an acoustic guitar among all the instruments??** A: Violins are in the preset list along with lots of acoustic guitars. It can also be programmed with custom tunings for anything I could imagine doing with a clip-on tuner. If you're serious about getting this you need to go to the Peterson website and download its manual so YOU can figure out what it does and how it does it. Be sure to find information on Peterson Connect to learn about custom tunings and how those are done. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Benchmark Of All-Instrument Tuners *by R***S on June 12, 2019* You don't have to look further for the "best" tuner; this is it!

At least it used to be! A word of advice - approach it with a bit of patience, especially at the beginning, and you will have a perfectly tuned guitar the first chord that you play. The screen rotates left when the string is flat and right when it's sharp. The goal is to have it absolutely still with no rotation at all. I had to hold the button what seemed like forever to turn on my old tuner and the same to turn the stupid thing off. Push the button on this one and it instantly lights up and is ready to go. Also, it is very compact, so no problem at all leaving the tuner attached to the guitar in the case. I live in the desert and have to have the guitars in their cases or they will dry out and break apart! :( This one is highly adjustable and very easy to aim directly toward you, so you don't have to strain to see it. I have to send one back that would only function parallel to the guitar neck, no adjustability, which means somebody would have to tell you if it was in tune or not. 🤷‍♂️ I can't imagine anyone not being happy with this one. I read a complaint I believe about the little arm that holds the screen to the clip being thin and eventually will break. But there is no reason to twist the screen once you have set it because like I say it is compact and will easily go into the case in the usable position. So that little arm doesn't have to have any twisting going on. Should last forever. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Humidifier System - Humidipak Maintain Kit - Automatic Humidity Control System - Maintenance-Free, Two-Way Humidity Control System For Guitars - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/44499977-peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-strobetuner-high-definition](https://www.desertcart.us/products/44499977-peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-strobetuner-high-definition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
