Customer reviews about Thomann CTW-10 Clip-on Tuner

Works really well

Anonymous 26.10.2016

I bought this tuner,more out of curiosity than anything else,as i wasn't sure if it would work with my flute,but it's cheap enough to take the risk.The only drawback with it in my view,is that it could do with a flexible arm on it,as when it's clipped to the flute,unless you have eyes on the side of your head like a horse,the screen is difficult to see.The fact that it lights up green when it is in tune does help in this respect,but it's still a bit awkward.I've checked the tuning with my trusty microphone type tuner,and it's spot on.If you are a player of an instrument where you can see the screen more easily,this is well worth buying,as using microphone based tuners in noisy places is a nightmare.

Fantastic value for the money.

j4kmsc 22.08.2021

It probably can’t get any more affordable than that and yet everything works just fine. It is easy to read and while being ultra light and made of plastic, it seems quite durable and makes impression it will last a while.

For some reason, I got this particular model in a mandolin bundle, but despite being intended for wind instruments, it works well with all string instruments I have lying around.

EDIT: After using it for a while and comparing it with other tuners I found this one to be rather insensitive and slow responding.

Great tuner great price

Free From Gravity 21.08.2014

These are great little tuners. I have had one of these for a few years now. Let me tell you something - I have a real problem with my eye sight and competitive tuners are very difficult for me to read. These ones are crystal clear, are accurate and easy to turn on and off. Another little feature I like about them is that they auto switch off after a certain amount of time. Seems like an obvious thing but I had a fender one which never did so the batteries quickly wore out

Battery life is pretty good (depends obviously on how much you use it) I gig 2-3 times a week and the batteries last a bout a year but they are standard watch batteries which cost a few pennies to replace so no need to break the bank

At this sort of price Iwould buy a few (I usually do) as they have a tendency to be borrowed and forgetfully not returned

Great tuner, great price and very clear if you have problems with your eyesight

Small digital tuner

jm3035 14.04.2020

can be clipped (and rotated, tilted,...)

You can choose the scale (C, Eb, BB, F?)

Possibly slower then my guitar tuners or could be that Saxophone notes are not that stable

Does the job.

Will see the battery (2032) life.

needs some development

Stephen2886 06.04.2016

I bought this for a colleague on the strength of Thomann range-usually excellent value for money...

It is probably OJ for a string player...but it is sold for the wind player...and the adjustments for visibility from the sax player's end are difficult, as I tried to use it as if.. Also the use of ## notes really shows its provenance for the wind player...did nobody think about the wind traditions of bbbb...? maybe a little niggle...but it did say it was for the wind player!

Simple but very effective

Anonymous 26.12.2015

This tuner works from the vibration it senses rather than "hearing" the sound so it needs to be be clipped to a fixed part of the instrument. It works very well and it is great that the key can be changed so I can use it on my cello, trumpet, saxes and french horn. I have found it to be very accurate and fast in response. It is small and easily fits into any case, it's so cheap you can get one for every instrument. If you need a great tuner at a silly cheap price this is the one for you!

I use this tuner at home, for practice.
This little piece is very useful and accurate. Clip it on your guitar, tune until the screen is green, and rock on.

I am satisfied!

Fotis Romi 22.06.2018

It really couldn't get simpler. Clip on, and press the button when you want to tube. For me, this is great because I used to bring a tuner pedal...

CTW-10 Clip-on Tuner

GrahamH 29.09.2013

I've used this on trumpet both at practice and during a (loud) pop gig in the Bb mode.

It coped very well indeed with both situations and the display is very clear in daylight and nightclub surroundings. It's very obvious when it turns green to indicate "In tune".

I also used it on my steel-strung and nylon-strung guitars and my electro-accoustic bass. On all of these it gave a stable and accurate indication of tuning and (particularly on the bass) performed batter than my Korg clip-on guitar tuner
