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!

This thing is awesome
I love this tuner. I actually bought 2 of them. Clip on tuners are great especially since they don't make me take up a space on my board for a tuner pedal. But they can be kind of an eye sore on an otherwise awesome looking guitar. This one is so small you barely notice it's there. The battery lasts a long time and it's very accurate for tuning guitar and bass. I want one for every guitar I have because it's super convenient to just leave it on the headstock. It's very inconspicuous. I wish I had 6 of them.

I Set My Guitar's Intonation With It--Perfect Job!
Yeah...I know it's small, but it's mighty! I used it, exclusively, to micro-tune my classical guitar, constantly taking readings with this tuner at the 12th fret as compared to the open note and adjusting the saddle as needed. This tuner did a great job--I didn't need my old rack-mount tuner because this one was super-accurate, and that really surprised me!!!!! The proof is in the pudding, they say, and now, thanks to this inexpensive but great tuner, the intonation on my guitar is about as perfect as it can be (given the fact that it is an acoustic instrument) which the flutist and violinist I play with appreciate a lot. I liked it so much that I purchased two more for my other classical and my steel-string Taylor, and it works great on both of those too.

Love the smallness
The first clip-on tuners I ever bought were Snarks and have always been happy with their performance and the very nice and easy to read display...….but I absolutely love the low profile of the D'addario clip-on tuners. So much less noticeable on your instrument!!! By far, this is the best and maybe only selling point of this tuner. You do sacrifice in a smaller display but it is readable. Also, the plastic ratchet clamp that you adjust to fit to your headstock is noticeably cheap. I bought the 2 pack and the first time I attempted to clip one onto a rather small ukulele headstock, I was immediately concerned with the clamp breaking. It seemed stuck and wasn't easy to adjust or open up to a larger size. With care, I manage to slip it on and everything now is fine, just be careful the first few times you are adjusting the clamp and don't use force. If needed look at the video. Also, at the time of my purchase, this seller was still running an older add with a metronome feature included in the tuner. I bought the 2 pack option in Oct. 2019 and the metronome feature is not included in this model. Not a deal breaker for me though because I bought this for the low profile.....just be aware. Also, these do come already loaded with batteries, which is nice but you never know how long these batteries have been sitting in these preloaded models before being shipped out. I always make a point to turn mine off immediately after tuning and one of the batteries died after 2 days. Again, not a deal breaker for me but probably a smart thing to have a few spare batteries with you even with a brand new tuner. Time will tell how well these will hold up but any other clip-on from now on is going to seem huge in size after using these. So far, even with the cons, I am loving them.

Mighty Mite! PERFECT FOR HEADLESS!
I have over 30 guitars, and a similar army of headstock tuners. Snark, Fender, Donner... A few years ago I settled in on the D'Addario tuners. Most accurate, most convenient, best visibility. I mostly have the big rectangle ones... I bought a Gretsch hollowbody with a Bigsby. That guitar needs a dedicated tuner. So I decided to give this a try. VERY small. I'm able to tuck this around the back of the headstock, and you would not know it's there. Replaceable battery, so I can use this for a long time. Same great tuning ability I have come to know and love from D'Addario. What I did not expect - OMG. This is perfect for headless guitars. I have struggled mightily to get the "usual" clips to sit on a headless guitar with varying degrees of success for a while now. This fits perfectly on my Strandberg Salen Jazz, my Kiesel Vader, my Steinberg Spirit... If you have headless guitars, get one.

Great product.
I never liked how big and bulky snark tuners are. This thing works great. This is the second one I’ve purchased. Battery life is pretty good, and it’s really accurate. Price point is a little high, but nobody else is making them this good at this size.

purchased this product based on the reviews, and I must say, it's truly a little marvel. While I knew it was small, I didn't anticipate it being this tiny! Nonetheless, it's essential for musicians.

this is an excellent hideaway tuner which I leave attached to my guitar all the time. I would recommend watching a YouTube tutorial as I found the instructions a little hard to read

These are fantastic little tuners. One of the best cadgets I have bought in a long time. Clips on discretely, and very securely. I jump up and down, move around the stage. Stays on. No sign of it moving. Very much needed to tune on stage. Saves me running to my helix the other side of the stage. Smaller and less bulky compared to other clip on tuners. I am so impressed by these, I am buying one for every bass and guitar I own.
