Even when I do play in venues where I need to plug in, I prefer to keep the signal chain as simple as possible. So while you have a visual aesthetic objection to musicians keeping clip-on tuners on their headstocks, please recognize that those players doing so are, in fact, making a professional choice. There's nothing automatically unprofessional about it at all. You don't like the way it looks, and that's fair enough: I don't care much for the way it looks, either. But it's helpful and I don't want to use a plugged-in tuner. It's my professional choice to use a tuner clipped to the instrument's headstock. Hope that makes sense. Wade Hampton Miller |

Same. I'd suffered through way too many junky tuners over the years, and someone posted a link for those on sale, so I grabbed one up. Darned good little tuner.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. My Snark is handy because it allows for a capo to 4, but it keeps telling me my D as in cgdgcD is a G, which it isn't, even when the battery is fairly new. I'll take a look at all of the suggestions.

That's cool you guys go unplugged. One of these days, I'm going to find a musical situation that doesn't require plugging in. I'd imagine that would be quite refreshing. |

After a thorough review of the responses {eenie, meanie, minee, moe } I ordered a Peterson StroboClip HD clip on. It comes with 50 "sweetened" presets which will be handy.

I use the TC Unitune. I compared it with a strobe tuner and it was very accurate.

After I mentioned that the church music group that I lead doesn’t plug in the guitars, jklotz wrote:

I thought to myself: “If I ever end up leading a worship band, we will NOT be doing any of this crap...” Fortunately, we have a nice live room at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Anchorage, so I was able to wean the two guys who were using amps away from them, and we’ve never used them on a regular basis since. The two exceptions to that are the bass guitar, of course, and occasionally I’ll plug my baritone and standard six string guitars directly into the board if I’m playing a soft intro or am fingerpicking. The mountain dulcimers I sometimes play for specific songs need to be plugged in, too, or else they won’t be heard very well. But other than that we try to keep it acoustic. Wade Hampton Miller |

I agree. Best one I've used.

I have PolyTune tuners. Good tuners but pricey.
As accurate and easier to read are the Fishman FT-2 tuners. They are also smaller. At $15.00 or less they are a bargain. I have gone through my share of Snark tuners. I am not a fan. They are not very durable IMO. |
