Snark ST-8 Super Tight Clip On Tuner (Current Model)

Great product. Arrives quickly in good packaging. Love the size and I can leave on the headstock of the guitar for quick tune-ups during performances. I even use these things on my headless guitars. Just small enough to still put at the top and works for tuning. Love the size and that it illuminates to see in darker settings. Love the fact that I can also tune different instruments or change the frequency I want to play in. Great product. Just have to be careful to protect the skinny neck it sits on.

You can't beat the convenience of a clip-on tuner. I use mine for guitar and bass and it handles the job perfectly. I am not a musical hardo demanding perfect tuning accuracy. It seems to get near enough to perfect for my needs. For shows, I always have a Polytune tuner on my pedal board. But for rehearsals, this is a must. You clip it on the headstock, turn it on, and just start tuning. It is very simple and easy to use. Everyone should have one in their guitar case or gig bag. My only real complaint about this product is the "eyestalk" mounting system. The base/clip has an extension and the tuner is attached to that. I have had several of these before. I throw this in my gig bag and it gets banged around with everything in there. Too many times, the tuner part gets broken off the eyestalk. This time, I got a little Geekria case to keep it protected. Another $10 that I hope will be well spent in terms of Snark longevity. If you are not put off by the risk of the Snark being broken, then you should get this product. It will be a great mobile tuner.

The Snark ST-8 Super Tight Clip-On Tuner has quickly become one of my favorite gear accessories. It’s incredibly easy to use — clip it on, power it up, and you’re tuning in seconds. The display is bright and very easy to read, even in low light or on a dim stage. It locks onto the note quickly and feels accurate and stable, without jumping around like some cheaper tuners I’ve tried. Tuning is fast and frustration-free. The “Super Tight” clip lives up to its name. It grips securely to the headstock without feeling flimsy, and it stays put while you’re adjusting strings. The build quality feels solid but still lightweight enough that it doesn’t feel bulky on the instrument. For the price, performance, and convenience, this is an easy 5 stars. Whether you’re practicing at home, recording, or playing live, this tuner just works. Highly recommend!

This is a great tuner. My current tuner is a "Korg PitchCrow-G Clip-On Tuner Black". The Korg tuner takes 3-4 seconds to boot up, has a noticeable delay in displaying a tone, and bounces around between notes as it tries to discern between the fundamental and harmonics. The Snark ST-8 addresses all of these issues. It boots up and locks onto tones almost instantly, and it somehow locks onto the fundamental tone and doesn't bounce around. The only thing it doesn't have is fine frequency resolution. I'm guessing a lot of people won't care, but I do, so I'm returning this one and getting the ST-8Hz which displays frequency. I also want the frequency display when I'm changing strings. When I'm tuning up a new string, I'm not sure if I'm in the right octave so I use a tuner app to display the frequency. The ST-8Hz should eliminate the need for the app.

Great product! The quality is amazing, the brightness is good, and have had no problems so far! Good size, this is easy for beginners to understand and use to tone their guitars! 10/10 recommend

I've purchased at least 8 different types of clip-on tuners and this one is easily the best so far. I use it mainly to tune my basses (which can be a challenge for some tuners). Here are the simple reasons why I like this one over some of the others: - The clip is the perfect tightness. I've tried some that are not tight enough so it doesn't pickup the vibration very well. And I've also had one that was too tight, to the point where it was difficult to clip it on with one hand (the Fender clip-on was way too tight). - It starts up and shuts down fast. I know this seems like a simple feature, but I've tried others, and some take a while to boot. Also, others I've tried require holding a button down for a few seconds to turn off. Both are quite annoying. With this one, you just tap the button and it's on in under a second, tap the button again and it instantly shuts off. So simple, but other manufactures don't seem to get it. - The accuracy is impeccable! And trust me when I say this, because I use it to tune bass guitars! Others that I've tried struggle on the lower strings like the E and A. I also have a 5 string with a low B and most can't even do it. This one has no problem with all strings. It struggles just a little bit with the B, but nowhere near the problems I've had with others. - You can position the face in any angle, so it doesn't matter where you clip it! I've used other tuners where they limit the angle of where you can position the face. This can be really annoying! I have no idea why other manufacturers don't simply give you all angles. If you look at the design of this one, it's quite simple the way they've designed it. Other manufacturers should take heed. - The display is nice and bright. My Jazz bass has a really long neck, and with some of the other tuners, it was hard to see the display when clipped to the furthest point of the headstock (my eyesight isn't that great, and if on stage, the bright lights can also make it difficult to read). This display is large, bright, and easy to read. This is easily a 5 star product Update: I don't know why the product page says it's the rechargeable one, but the one I reviewed here is the non rechargeable where you just replace the battery. Amazon needs to fix this error. Anyhow, my review is for the "SNARK ST-8 Chromatic All Instrument Tuner"

Amazing piece of hardware. Now I can do alternate tuning with ease. The thing is sturdy and battery life is great

In the 70's you found someone whose guitar was in tune or who owned an in tune piano and tuned your guitar to that by ear so i was very skeptical at first. I have made my piece with that and have learned to truly appreciate how much easier it is to get that first low E string in tune. It is still best to tune the others to that now in tune E string so as to develop one's ear. This is a practical, useful tool.

lo uso su un basso, riconosce subito la nota, mi sembra preciso, è veloce e facilissimo da usare. schermo con ottima leggibilità, inoltre i materiali di cui è composto sono molto belli e piacevoli al tatto, il che non guasta. questa tipologia di accordatore non necessita dello strumento amplificato per funzionare, rileva la vibrazione alla paletta della strumento, a cui si attacca in maniera sicura e delicata. può quindi essere usato anche in ambienti rumorosi senza che i suoni interferiscano con la lettura. comodissimo.

Réponds aux attentes

Mucho mejor de lo que se ve en la fotos, de muy buena calidad y material, se ve muy bien en mi guitarra acústica Ibanez

It does what a tuner does, what else can you ask for? For me that's the metronome I was supposed to get on the tuner as a feature, but it's fine.

Best guitar tuner I've every had in my 15 plus years of playing guitar, for one simple reason recharable battery lol. The USB-C type charger is lightening quick as always and no more having to keep those small batteries around I dont use for anything else. The tunning is also extremely smooth as well. All around a fantastic tuner for your guitar, or any instrument for that matter
