## Description

Guitar, Bass and Violin Tuner

Review: Makes Tuning Simple - I was impressed with this little tuner. It’s the SN-5 which is set up for a standard 440 frequency low E tuning. It clips securely to the head of my guitar and the display pivots to face me so I can easily view the bright screen while tuning the guitar. There is a single button to turn the tuner on. Pick one of the strings and the display shows a meter that is color coded with a green point at the center. There are about a dozen red increments to the left and yellow to the right. It is very responsive and continues measuring the note during sustain. During tuning you can watch the indicator which fills up the dial. When it is centered on the green marker and it’s in tune, the note is clearly displayed in text which tells you if it’s flat or sharp. You can tell at a glance by how many increments are on the dial how in or out of tune you are. Red means it’s tuned low; yellow means it’s high. This tuner makes tuning a guitar very simple, takes the guesswork out of it and allows me to get my guitar in tune very quickly. I know there are a couple of other slightly more expensive models that allow you to set other frequencies and tune a wider variety of instruments. I am still a beginner and am just learning the guitar so this is all I need. What’s more, it has battery saving features. The screen dims after a while and the SN-5 shuts off if you leave it alone for a while. I’m amazed at how well it works and how affordable it is. I also like that you can just leave it on the guitar; it’s small and light weight and doesn’t draw attention to itself but is always there when you need it. I highly recommend it.
Review: I HATE being out of tune - I HATE being out of tune. I also tend to get a little heavy-handed with my playing style, and do a lot of string bending, so it's not uncommon for me to have to tweak a "G" or "B" string after a few minutes of aggressive playing. So I have no idea why I didn't put much thought into finding a convenient, efficient, and affordable tuning option for my guitars. Seriously, I own dozens of effects pedals (including two pedal tuners), but what about all of those other times when I'm not using a full pedalboard? Problem solved for less than $10: Enter the Snark SN-5. This thing is crazy fast and accurate. I guess I did not fully realize (or appreciate) that clip on tuners work by contact vibration, not ambient sound (like the way the free tuner on you iPhone might). So you can tune an unplugged electric guitar before you even turn on your amp and hear those awful resonating detuned chords! I think my favorite aspect of this tuner, however, is the speed and stability of the reading. That's a major problem with most audio-based tuners, as they tend to flutter all over the place. The SN-5 identifies and holds a reading for the note you are playing, and responds smoothly as you tighten or loosen the string. It's quicker, more effective, and more affordable than most of the alternatives. When I ordered mine, I wondered why I didn't already have one. Now, I'm wondering why I don't have one for every room I play guitar in!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works better with guitar than with my electric Fender bass
*by D***5 on March 16, 2014*

I play a few gigs a month and I was looking for something small and simple to use with my Fender Bass. I kept trying to decide between the SN-5 and the SN-8. Finally, I decided to just go with the cheaper option (SN-5) because I did not need the extra features the SN-8 had. The SN-5 works fine with my acoustic guitar. It reacts pretty quickly to all strings and matches the tuning I get from an older Korg tuner. The clip does not seem to be very tight which might be why Snark markets the SN-8 as being "super-tight", whatever that actually means. When I use the SN-5 with my Fender bAss, it works well for the higher strings (G and D), not too bad for the A string, but the E string takes a long time to show up on the tuner. If your guitar has the intonation set correctly, you can use the 12th fret harmonic to tune and this seems to work a bit better on the lower strings. I actually tune the bottom E string (on the bass) by checking it at the 5th (A) and 10th (D) frets. This method works well enough for me and I am satisifed with the tuning. I clip the tuner on the right-side (the side opposite from the tuner keys) just above the nut and rotate the display behind the headstock. I used it on the last gig and it was easy to read.
