  • THE STEALTH TUNER - Your audience will never know there is a tuner on your instrument with the highly precise Micro Clip-On Tuner. The lightweight, discrete, compact tuner hides behind the headstock practically blending into the instrument and is small enough to be kept on your instrument while stored in its case. At 1.25", you will want one for each stringed instrument you own.
  • EXTREME ACCURACY - The NS Micro features an extremely accurate piezo transducer that picks up an instrument's vibration rather than sound. A wide calibration range (410-480Hz) guarantees precise performance.
  • EASY TO READ - The easy-to-read, tri-color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. Powered by a readily available (and included) CR2032 battery, you will enjoy maximum battery life thanks to the tuner's auto-off function.

    • All the right features
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
Over the years, I have accumulated and gone through dozens of tuners, and I also have the more elaborate strobe tuner. But I have one of these micro headstock tuners on each of my guitars, because they have all the right features for convenience: Accurate enough; small and unobtrusive; bright LCD display; display rotates to any orientation; fits every headstock both on front or back; batteries last a decent time' no cantilevered arms to break off;... no significant flaws that I can think of. ... show more

    • Excellent micro tuner
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
This tuner works like a charm. It's small and stays hidden and works easily with a bright display which you orient four different ways. The controls are simple and easy to figure out. I've owned an older version and it has yet to fail me. The battery it came with has lasted for years and it's so easy to operate and read. It attaches easily anywhere near the guitar's head and the response is immediate. This new version looks to be a slight improvement with a brighter display and I have all the confidence in the world that it will last just as long. Kudos to D'Addario for an excellent product. ... show more

    • Awesome size, works well but a little dicey for bass (especially 5 string)
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
This was actually even smaller than I expected it to be. It lives quietly and comfortably on the head of my 5 string Ibanez bass. I can tune my bass perfectly with it, however it takes a little more time and work than something like a standard Snark. Even the Snark has a problem with the low B string, and this tuner struggles a little harder to hear it. It also has a little more trouble with the low E than the Snark. The other 3 strings pick up nicely, but there is still a delay between when the string is plucked and when it displays anything. A quick harmonic check (by ear) on all strings is helpful to fine tune. While on and not receiving input, it seems to blink continuously, I guess to let you know that it is on and waiting to "hear" a note. This is confusing and makes it look as though it is malfunctioning at first, although it does not appear to be. The metronome function works nicely (but silently), but I'll probably never use it. The ratcheting arm holds onto the head nicely, and does not slip at all. I think I prefer it to the padded spring clip on a Snark. The tuner swivels on the clip, making it pretty easy to see from most angles. It would be nice if it was more like a ball joint than a swivel for even more angles, but I think that would increase the size. It is helpful that the screen can be flipped to accommodate my preferred orientation. It is set to A440, but that is very easily adjustable if desired. The controls, in fact, are very simple and easy to use. Overall for about 12 bucks, I'm happy with it. That is, as long as it continues to work properly, and the additional time required to use it doesn't get annoying. I have not yet tested it on other instruments, but from how it works with my bass, I think it will actually work better on something like a guitar or mandolin. ... show more

    • I should buy them by the case!
Size: Single Pack Style: Universal
Though I received this for free to review, I have purchased 14(!) of the same model with a different clip ( D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner .) Obviously, I really like this tuner. I used Snarks for years until I found this one and here's why I switched allegiance: -The D'Addario is faster and seems slightly more accurate -It's low-profile and discreet -It doesn't have a Sesame Street color scheme on the display When I got my first D'Addario tuner and put both it and my Snark on my guitar and compared them. The D'Addario caught the vibration of the string faster and held it better with less fluctuation. The several Snarks that I had always seemed to bounce around a lot when they were trying to "hear" the note. Once the string was properly tuned, both tuners showed similar readings, though the Snark was always a little flat, but that can be fixed with calibration. (I knew it was the Snark that was flat rather than the D'Addario reading sharp because I tested them both against my Peterson Strobe Tuner app. The D'Addario and the Strobe Tuner were pretty close - though the Strobe has a much finer level of detail.) Aside from that, everything else that separates the Snark and the D'Addario is just personal taste. I wear glasses (+1.75) to read and I find the D'Addario plenty big enough to read. The Snark screen is HUGE comparatively and it uses bright primary colors (red, yellow, and green) to help you zero in on the tuning. This is a great way to help engage a child in the process of tuning, but as an adult I find it a little remedial. The D'Addario also uses red, yellow and green as an aid, but the colors are muted so they are helpful without looking like something on a children's toy. Instead of a large, animated "speedometer" effect like the Snark, the D'Addario uses small lines on either side of the note. The more lines on the left, the more flat the note is. The more lines on the right, the more sharp it is. When the string is in tune there should be a single line on either side of the letter. It's the same concept as the Snark, but it's more subtle... once again, the D'Addario seems as though it's designed for adults rather than kids. The D'Addario model that I have been using has a small, locking clip that keeps the tuner against the headstock. It's super low-profile so no one knows it's there except me. The only problem with that model is that it's designed to stay on one instrument. When I'm playing with other people and someone needs a tuner it's kind of awkward to get off and on. And since it has a sliding lock rather than a spring-mount, if you don't cinch it down tightly it will fall off. It's not particularly heavy-duty so it can break if it falls. This spring lock on this model is far more secure and it's almost as discreet. The goose-neck on this tuner allows you to pop it up like a periscope when you are using it and tuck it flat when it's not in use. And because you can flip the display 180 degrees you can mount it either in front or behind the headstock and it's never upside-down. This is a great feature. Obviously, I really like these D'Addario tuners. The reason that I've purchased so many of them is because I keep one on each of my instruments and, also, I keep giving them away to people in my ukulele class. One broke when I dropped it - that sucked. When I perform I still use the model with the lower-profile clip, but I've put this spring-loaded clip version on the uke I take to class so I can take it off and pass it around more easily if I need to. This is probably much more than needs to be written about a tuner, but I really like it and people are always asking me about (because it looks so different than the Snark) and so I find myself talking about it's features a lot. I write reviews as a hobby for fun and it always makes my day when I find out that my reviews have helped someone, so leave a comment if you'd like, feel free to ask a question, or just say "Hi." ... show more
