An excellent mini tuner that really does the job.
Excellent quality and has a good display that you can actually read outside in the sun. I love how the display can be reversed or inverted to fit in any direction. Easy to use and give an accurate reading. Discrete in use and doesn't look out of place. Perfect for both right handed and left handed players. I expected it to come loose and fall off but fitted correctly it is rock solid and I had no issues using it in a live situation. Instructions say not to leave it on all of the time as it may cause finish damage in 'expensive' guitars (think Nitro/Rickenbacker). Overall I am very pleased with this tuner. Prices vary considerably from different sellers so shop around (anywhere between £19 and £45 at the time of writing).

Great design - very impressive
I have never been keen on cumbersome and fragile clip-on tuners but this is an excellent product. Very discreet, well designed, extremely sensitive and very accurate (tested on acoustic guitar and mandolin). Build quality is good, the ratchet clamp is neat and the non-slip surfaces grip well. I had no difficulty in seeing the changes on the colour display without needing my reading spectacles. I like the fact that it remembers which way the screen orientation is set after power off and the visual metronome is useful. The larger power button is near the display end so it is easy to feel without needing to see it. After power-up, the base frequency is briefly displayed but, usefully, there is a three or four second delay before you can change it; setting it by accident is extremely unlikely. However, if you do make a change, it does not reset to 440 on power-down so it is worth checking at power-up (just in case some joker has decided to set it for you). I needed to use a small screwdriver to loosen one side of the battery cover but I much prefer this to having it fall off in the dark. You might be aware that some strings can sound a little flat if they are not plucked at full playing volume and this tuner is sensitive enough to show this tendency. On a properly tuned string with both bars on, the left bar will tend to go off if you hit the string very hard. The percentage change is tiny but this sharpening effect is properly detected and you can correct for it if you prefer. This tuner was recommended to me by a professional musician and, at under £12.00, I ordered four without hesitation. If you appreciate great design, and the sound of properly tuned instruments, I'm sure you will be impressed.

Tiny Tunes
Very small yet the display is very clear and easy to read. The clip works fine and is a ratchet rather than the usual spring clips you get on these. Tunes fine and the rotatable display is genius! My only issue is placement, I like it hidden behind the nut and but it gets in the way if you use guitar hangers. No problems if you have it higher on the headstock though. As a tip, if your headstock is a light 'wood' colour rather than a dark painted one wrap an appropriately coloured elastic band around the back of the clamp and as well as being held in place with a better grip it will become much less noticeable on the headstock!

Top tuner
Great little item that sits next to my turning keys, long battery life, small enough to not notice it, would recommend A+

Much more handy than I thought.
Why do I need a digital tuner? I've been tuning my guitars by ear for 25+ years and I have the Fender Tune app on my phone just for reference purposes. Well,I figured a decent digital tuner would be ideal for setting up my intonation more than basic tuning as my collection of guitars has been ever expanding over 2020. So i bought one of these little fellows ,for 14 quid you can't go to wrong,I figured. Little is right.I don't know why but when I opened up the package and sawe the size of it I couldn't get over how small it is.Of course,that's exactly the point,the size.It clips on perfectly to the headstock,see photos and with it's really well made ratchet system stays there aswell. The angle can be set to however you want it aswell as the display so it's always upright no matter what orientation you have it at.The display is wonderfull clear and bright aswell as telling you just exactly what you need to know. As for accurate,well I've only checked it against ther Fender app on my phone but they agree on when my string is properly in tune so that suggests accurate to me.It also coincides with my ear aswell so I'm good with that. Such a useful little gadget I'll be buying a bunch more after xmas to fit to some of my other guitars. For the price,size and functionality I think these are pretty hard to beat.

Dear D'addario
Neat little tuner - not the cheapest. I bought one because of a recommendation. It's OK but I prefer Snarks. Feel free to disagree.

Great tuner
Accurate tuner. Small enough to be able to leave it on the guitar at all times

purchased this product based on the reviews, and I must say, it's truly a little marvel. While I knew it was small, I didn't anticipate it being this tiny! Nonetheless, it's essential for musicians.

Bonito, preciso, cromático (aunque yo solo lo use para guitarras) y con ajuste de Hertzios por si quieres afinar un cuartito de tono por encima o por debajo. Para la gente que empieza, es bueno saber que a veces no encuentran la tonalidad de esa canción que les encantaría tocar, por el hecho de que A4 esta afinada a 432 Hz. y no a 440, como marcan los estándares de la música. Buen producto.

this is an excellent hideaway tuner which I leave attached to my guitar all the time. I would recommend watching a YouTube tutorial as I found the instructions a little hard to read
