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

Accuracy is good both contact and mic. Big and bright display is very helpful

good product. Packaging from Furtadoes should improve.

I have several of the earlier versions of the Snark, having been a fan since their inception. This new version is a much brighter and clearer screen than previous ones and works faster too. The hz button works fine and the reading is clear although relatively small on the main screen. Like the Peterson tuners the hz display is about getting very fine tuning, however fans of the strobe tuning on those won’t have the same visual cues. The Snark is good enough to get my Classicals and Electrics easily and quickly in tune. The instructions do say do not put it on ANY Gibson guitar and nitrocellulose finishes, the previous reviewer was right about that. Older versions of the Snark had similar warnings but not about Gibson specifically. I did notice some minor pressure marks on two French polished guitars but I did leave the old Snark tuner in situ for long periods and the marks were easily polished out. I had no issues on Ibanez guitars at all. This new tuner will sit on a Cordoba dolce headstock most of the time and so far no marks but it’s only been on a couple of days. I didn’t know whether the Gibson thing might have been a bit of a poke at Gibson - The Gibson’s I have owned and played weren’t that great with intonation etc.. The odd pressure marks came off easily with Mr.Sheen (natural) and microfibre cloth. For the cost of around £20.00 this is the best value clip on tuner there is. An update in Nov 2020. Still the best and have come done to £14.99. I now have a third and they function perfectly and have NO issues with marks on the headstocks other than my comments in 2018.

Quality product. Good and fast service.

Deze tuner is de eerste die werkt voor de F# snaar op mijn baritone, en tevens de eerste die goed werkt voor de lage "B" snaar op mijn 5-snaar bas.

Réponds aux attentes

Excelente afinador, el material es bueno pero da la impresión de que con un buen golpe se puede romper, fuera de eso cumple su función, también tiene metrónomo y puedes configurarlo para afinar tu instrumento en diferentes frecuencias.
