Heads Up, D'Addario Tuner...
...Anyone tried one of these? Very cool, unobtrusive, tuner. First one I saw was used by bluegrass flatpicker Kenny Smith and his wife, Amanda, at a flatpicking guitar workshop. Very discrete. You don't have the big display sticking up above the headstock. They're also very accurate and quick, easy to read. I really like mine. You can buy them in twin packs too. Check 'em out.

I was a bit skeptical when I first saw them, but kept hearing good things. Got one for my birthday in October and really like it a lot.

I bought a two-pack a while back. It took a bit of getting used to but they seem accurate, are easy to use, and certainly are unobtrusive. They're a good addition to the range of options out there.

I use them and like the slim profile and accuracy.
My only beef with them is that they seem to drain the battery. I've had my Snark tuners for over a year and never changed it's battery. I started using these new tuners a few months ago and have changed them out twice already. I use a Cooperstand and keep it in my case under the headstock...so perhaps this pushes up against the power switch and turns it on accidentally?

I bought a pair of them in August, then picked up two more a couple of weeks later, in early September. One of these days I'll pick up another 4! They're just plain useful and because all of my instruments are poly finish they can be parked on the treble side of the head under the first string between the nut and the first tuning post. I wouldn't suggest leaving them on nitro or other sensitive finish instruments. Haven't had any battery issues, yet, Aaron...
The only caveat was that I used to use a pair of "hang by the neck" Ultimate stage stands that I can't use anymore (replaced them with those wood satellite looking stands that hold the lower bout) though I discovered this week that they still fit nicely in the Hercules self-closing yoke type stands. Guess I'll have to get a couple of them when I get more of the micro tuners! Phil

I have had one of the earlier models discretely clipped to the back of the headstock on my GS Mini for a couple of years now.
No apparent damage to the finish on that li'l guy. Wouldn't leave it on my Martin. Battery life is fine, so long as you always turn it off the second you've tuned up !  FWIW. They do fit extremely neatly on the back of Strat/Tele style headstocks !
