Not sure if any are more accurate than the good ol' Snark.

I'm sure equally as accurate... I guess it's another option.

The new 'Super' Snark is my personal fave.

I have a couple of Snarks and D'Ad/Planet Waves micro tuners.

I think next time I buy one I'll get one of these sound-hole mounted micro D'Ads.

Been using it for 6 months. Works great except struggles to pick up the low E.

There are still a few of these D'Addario 'collectors tin' packs with 5 sets of strings AND a micro tuner available around if you shop around.
This example is $55.00 Australian.(US$40.50 GBP32.65)

Thanks, exactly what I want to know. I play Bass as well as guitar and find this problem with a lot of tuners.

I was interested, until I read the comments on Amazon from all the folks who have had the clip snap off.

I briefly played a friend's Martin 12-string today that has one of these tuners. It didn't pick up the low E, and the D string, neither. He said "it does that a lot." I got tired of it and just played the guitar without tuning it. Definitely won't be getting one of those.

Same here, got the brown version. I had a PW, but the tuning accuracy was poor.
