Compact, Accurate, and Super Convenient – A Must-Have for Any Musician!
These D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuners are absolutely fantastic. I use them on both my acoustic and electric guitars, and they deliver quick, accurate tuning every time. The compact size is a huge plus—it stays out of sight while playing, and doesn't interfere with the aesthetics or balance of the instrument.The clip holds firmly without damaging the finish, and the display is bright and easy to read from multiple angles. I love that the 2-pack lets me keep one on each of my frequently used instruments—no need to swap tuners between sessions. It's also great that this works for a variety of string instruments including ukulele and banjo.Highly recommend for anyone from beginner to pro. This is one of those tools you end up using daily without even thinking about it—and wondering how you ever got by without it!

Just trust me
Legitimately the best clip-on tuner I have ever used. I have had 2 or 3 Snarks, and my last one was the KLIQ UberTuner (please stay far, far away from that piece of junk).As most people who've used these things know - the first point of failure is always the hinge. I don't care which brand, after enough rotating through normal use, the pivot joint WILL wear down and leave you with a "limp noodle".This little thing solves that problem, and then some. It's about as minimalist and unobtrusive as you could get without having something built into the body of your instrument. You just put it in place and give it a squeeze until it fastens snugly to the headstock, then it's able to rotate along its x-axis so you can adjust it for readability. Really, really great design, and I much prefer not having something sticking out off the end of my guitarThe LCD screen is bright and incredibly easy to read, especially considering how small it actually is. Another great feature is the ability to change the orientation of the display with the push of a button, so you're not reading upside-down or sideways.As far as doing it's actual job - it's great! Super responsive (which is a must), and it doesn't "jump around" like some other tuners tend to sometimes do. For me, this thing was definitely worth the few extra bucks over yet another Snark.

D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuner - Providing Accurate Tuning Without Looking Like an Appendage!
I think these little tuners are great! You can leave them on most headstocks without them marking the finish as you really don't need to take them off. I use them on my acoustic guitars and mandolins. Once you choose the location for the tuner, you can rotate the display by pressing a button. The older units required rotating the entire unit in order to see the display correctly from your desired point of view. Pricing is a little high considering the engineering and manufacturing costs of these little guys. Perhaps Jeff needs more gold. I highly recommend this tuner!! You won't be disappointed!!

Micro and Accurate... With Some Considerations
Over the past I have purchased numerous D'Addario products from stings to accessories and recently lost one of my favorite head stock tuners at a studio session, so I thought I would try something smaller that I can keep on the head stock and not misplace it. Some key points to consider:- It is indeed "Micro" and about the size of a penny.- It is accurate and easy to read. Battery life is god and shuts off automatically so you will increase the life of the battery.- The adjustable grip will accommodate any guitar and, although plastic, it does lock into place securely.Overall a good choice for an inexpensive tuner that gets the job done and keeps you in tune.

I should buy them by the case!
Though I received this for free to review, I have purchased 14(!) of the same model with a different clip (D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner.) Obviously, I really like this tuner. I used Snarks for years until I found this one and here's why I switched allegiance:-The D'Addario is faster and seems slightly more accurate-It's low-profile and discreet-It doesn't have a Sesame Street color scheme on the displayWhen I got my first D'Addario tuner and put both it and my Snark on my guitar and compared them. The D'Addario caught the vibration of the string faster and held it better with less fluctuation. The several Snarks that I had always seemed to bounce around a lot when they were trying to "hear" the note. Once the string was properly tuned, both tuners showed similar readings, though the Snark was always a little flat, but that can be fixed with calibration. (I knew it was the Snark that was flat rather than the D'Addario reading sharp because I tested them both against my Peterson Strobe Tuner app. The D'Addario and the Strobe Tuner were pretty close - though the Strobe has a much finer level of detail.)Aside from that, everything else that separates the Snark and the D'Addario is just personal taste. I wear glasses (+1.75) to read and I find the D'Addario plenty big enough to read. The Snark screen is HUGE comparatively and it uses bright primary colors (red, yellow, and green) to help you zero in on the tuning. This is a great way to help engage a child in the process of tuning, but as an adult I find it a little remedial. The D'Addario also uses red, yellow and green as an aid, but the colors are muted so they are helpful without looking like something on a children's toy.Instead of a large, animated "speedometer" effect like the Snark, the D'Addario uses small lines on either side of the note. The more lines on the left, the more flat the note is. The more lines on the right, the more sharp it is. When the string is in tune there should be a single line on either side of the letter. It's the same concept as the Snark, but it's more subtle... once again, the D'Addario seems as though it's designed for adults rather than kids.The D'Addario model that I have been using has a small, locking clip that keeps the tuner against the headstock. It's super low-profile so no one knows it's there except me. The only problem with that model is that it's designed to stay on one instrument. When I'm playing with other people and someone needs a tuner it's kind of awkward to get off and on. And since it has a sliding lock rather than a spring-mount, if you don't cinch it down tightly it will fall off. It's not particularly heavy-duty so it can break if it falls. This spring lock on this model is far more secure and it's almost as discreet. The goose-neck on this tuner allows you to pop it up like a periscope when you are using it and tuck it flat when it's not in use. And because you can flip the display 180 degrees you can mount it either in front or behind the headstock and it's never upside-down. This is a great feature.Obviously, I really like these D'Addario tuners. The reason that I've purchased so many of them is because I keep one on each of my instruments and, also, I keep giving them away to people in my ukulele class. One broke when I dropped it - that sucked. When I perform I still use the model with the lower-profile clip, but I've put this spring-loaded clip version on the uke I take to class so I can take it off and pass it around more easily if I need to.This is probably much more than needs to be written about a tuner, but I really like it and people are always asking me about (because it looks so different than the Snark) and so I find myself talking about it's features a lot. I write reviews as a hobby for fun and it always makes my day when I find out that my reviews have helped someone, so leave a comment if you'd like, feel free to ask a question, or just say "Hi."
