The tuner works well, but has a poorly constructed back battery cover. The first one I received broke when I tried to put it back on after inserting the battery. I was more careful with the replacement, but I can tell it might break easily as well. Music Bay's customer service was very responsive, and responded quickly to my email asking about returning the broken tuner and getting a replacement, and they mailed me a replacement in a timely manner. I would recommend Music Bay as a vendor.
Not a big fan... August 16, 2008
It's very convenient... when it works...
I own a half a dozen guitars, both acoustic and electric, and have a terrible time getting the thing to sense the note being played on about half of them. I've tried a new battery, and changing the location, to no avail...
As has been mentioned, it's got dark grey LCD text on an unlit orange background, and it's very difficult to read unless you are in an extremely well lit area.
 The Most Precise Clip-on Tuner August 8, 2008

Works with great precision on a variety of instruments, from fretted strings to horns. Tuning is spot-on, instead of "generally close" as with most other brands of clip-ons.

great tuner that actually picks up the instrument without having to beat the strings off it. the reason is that this tuner picks up via of the clipon itself so it is picking up the vibrations without going all the way through the tuner. downside is that it doesn't have a light for dark stages, maybe they will change this later on, i hope so!!!
Good for general use May 18, 2007
I'm a bassist and this device doesn't pick up the vibrations as accurately as I had hoped, but it does the job when you want to check pitch quickly on stage before a concert. I prefer to use my older Korg tuner for practicing and really fine tuning since this device can be fussy with the low tones. Backlighting would be ideal.
