NS Micro Clip Free Tuner, by D'Addario

These are fantastic little tuners. One of the best cadgets I have bought in a long time. Clips on discretely, and very securely. I jump up and down, move around the stage. Stays on. No sign of it moving.Very much needed to tune on stage. Saves me running to my helix the other side of the stage. Smaller and less bulky compared to other clip on tuners.I am so impressed by these, I am buying one for every bass and guitar I own.

It really is as advertised.I bought 1 fir my hush travel guitar as it had no place to clamp a tuner properly.I actually drilled a hole to mount it.It is brilliant. . So I got 1 for my 12 string semi accoustic, as it doesn't have one built in.I was so impressed I have just ordered 2 more for my electrics.They are truly "hidden from front view" ARE easy to read. Worksreally well.This is the first non clip on tuner I have seen. ( other than in pedals and amps etc. )So I bought 4. I guess that says it all really huh.. 10/10. 100% happy.In fact my Ovation semi has a tuner built in but I might put 1 ofthese on as easier to see.And I might put some on my grandaughters guitars.Best thing since fried bread 😉👍🏻👍🏻ooh and rapid delivery. ( but I am prime 🤔)

In case anyone was wondering, it does work well on a Stratocaster with vintage tunes, see pics. I couldn't find any pics or reviews with this type of tuner, so I gambled and got it anyway.The idea is brilliant: use an existing tuner screw (so it won't work in all tuners, check the back of your guitar headstock before you buy), and it stays hidden from the front, so it won't detract from the looks of your axe, if you care about that. Leave it on or turn off with the button, so you can quickly retune without going to a pedal or having an unsightly clip on tuner that may fall off, and you need to remove when putting in your bag. This can potentially stay on all the time.You can flip the view in four ways, depending on how it's fitted to your guitar. I have a reverse headstock strat so I found the way the lines work up or down whether it's flat or sharp a bit counterintuitive to which direction I need to move the tuners, but you can flip the screen 90,180 or 270 degrees.On minor nag is that the lines do not seem as accurate or as easy to fine tune as other tuners like the Snark or some pedal tuners. The blocks are a bit large and so it doesn't allow for finer adjustments.However, the great design and form factor balance out, and you get great value for money.

I bought it for my bass as I don't use a pedal board and only have the main bass. Looks great and fits nicely out of the way but still in view. Works well in a gig situation, just turn volume down and tune up. Very easy to read under any or no light.I love it and will buy another but here's my only slight niggle; Doesn't pick up low E very well. (I just use the octave)Note: If you use the guitar hangers that hang by the headstock, this can get in the way.

As someone with 'more than enough' stringed instruments, I have tried many sorts of tuner. A foot pedal tuner (the BOSS TU-3) is great for total accuracy and is what I use in a live gig situation. But obviously that needs to be used on an electric instrument (not all of mine are) and you need to dig it out, gather leads together plug it all in etc - which when playing at home isn't necessarily that convenient. So I like to have clip on tuners on my instruments - I can just pick them up, check they are as much in tune as I need and play. Of course there are many different clip on tuners - and many of them are a lot cheaper than these (or their predecessor model). So - never wanting to spend money unless I have to! - I have tried quite a few of the others. Of them, the Snark seems to be about as accurate as this sort, but boy, is it ugly! Not to mention fragile. Many of the cheaper auction site no-name imports are either inaccurate or won't pick up various strings (low E on a bass guitar and A on a ukulele seeming to be most problematic) - the Planet Waves picks both up without trouble. Also, because of it way it clips on and the changeable display, you can have it on the back of your (guitar, bass, uke) headstock - which is far neater and looks far more professional!So I'd recommend these over the other brands of clip on tuners I have tried, and will be buying another one when the next instrument turns up!

I bought two of these tuners. I just took a small knock to each guitar headstock to break the tiny circle of plastic that sticks out the back of the tuner - the bit that attaches to the mounting plate (that bit is screwed down onto your heaststock with one of the screws from your tuning machine).I need to contact the manufacturer - hopefully they are under warranty.Unless they change the design or at least make this breakable part from metal instead of plastic, I doubt I'm gonna want new tuners of the same model.The screen is a bit too small to read the letter of the note well - and to follow the bars BUT because it's almost invisibly tiny, and well hidden behind the guitar headstock, I was willing to put up with that. Switching the tuner on&off is easy enough.So, overall, great wee tuner IF it wouldn't break oh so easily !

Small and unobtrusive if mounted on underside of headstock. Display can be rotated. Accuracy good enough for jazz (and me)

So neat and practical. Simple operation. Seems very accurate and reliable. I like having a chromatic tuner rather than one that is instrument specific. This tuner is very compact and not at all intrusive when clipped on the headstock. At this price, you can afford to leave one one on each instrument.
