They leave that plastic digital device clamped unceremoniously to the top of the their impeccable, hand-crafted, fully pampered, wooden object of desire. Frankly, it looks to me like some orphaned after-thought of a plastic star placed atop a lovely fir tree otherwise painstakingly trimmed for Christmas.
Am I right. Or is this just another thing in my life that I need to put in my rearview mirror. If I can.

You don't have to have it perched in front of the headstock, hanging out there. It's easy to clip it so that the display is behind the headstock, with the only thing showing in front being the small prong of the clip. I don't think it looks at all bad that way.

EDIT: Rudy4 beat me to it, but the point stands.
