Dead by Day Two
Rick A 17.10.2022
It looks a nice design, and it did what it should do quite well I thought during Day One, but the LED window broke on Day Two after a very light knock against it and now it is entirely inoperable so it goes in the bin. Unfortunately in the world of guitar players things have to be more robust than that.

Tunes on vibration, not sound
Mon Cher Colonel 16.03.2021
This tunes on vibration, not sound waves, and has to be clipped to the instrument in order to work. This may be obvious to some, but not to me! The instructions included didn't actually give any guidance on how to use it or what the buttons were for.

I haven't tested the accuracy against a true sound tuner so cannot comment on that. Given the price, it's hard to complain, but a bit more clarity on what it is and how it works would be nice.

G
Small, portable tuner
GermanG 11.04.2017
I bought this tuner for my ukulele, as I needed something small, light and easy to use, and I have to say that it does the job... most of the time.

The tuner is easy enough to use. It only has a couple of buttons to move around the modes, etc... For what I want it, it is just clip in, push the button, tune the hell out of those strings and keep on playing.

My big downside is that it is not as precise and accurate as other type of tuners. If being exactly in tune every time is one of your main concerns, you may want to look for a different gadget, specially if your instrument can be plugged in.

On the other hand, it gives a lot of bang for the buck. It is super light, discrete, easy to read even in the dark, power efficient, and it works with a good amount of instruments.

I like the finish of it too.

Update: I have just taken 3 stars away from the quality, as I accidentally dropped the tuner from a very low height (about 50cm) on a wooden floor and it stopped working completely.

Really good product for the price!
Pekki 14.09.2017
Works like a dream. I have tried it with acoustic and electric guitars, and it is fast and simple to use, every time. I have also compared it to mic based, line based and amp based tuners, and it has simply been the easiest and most accurate to use. I wholeheartedly recommend the product.

Update 14.11.2017:
I dropped one from 1m to a carpet and broke the power button (bottomed out). So handle carefully. Otherwise 5/5.

Update 20.8.2018:
Second one has not been dropped nor mishandled, but the display has been acting up for a while now. Dropped rating to 2 stars because of weak durability.

Works great but battery life is poor.
Anonymous 29.12.2015
Ended up throwing in the bin out of frustration, it can put a guitar in tune very well but it seems to draw power from the battery when not in use.

Ive gone through two batteries recently and on the second brand new battery it lasted to tuning's over the space of a fortnight before not powering up.

Don't have a problem with Thomann, good company but this thing drinks batteries.

Poor quality
Anonymous 22.12.2016
After one month, the lower part of the clip broke off. Not Thomann quality we all know. Features and handling are good.

I would pay more to get something that last longer.

Good tuner, but too fragile
Jiipeee 25.09.2020
It's easy to operate and does everything you need from a clip tuner. However the first one I bought only lasted a couple of weeks before the spring mechanism broke, it is way too fragile.
