Great Tuner / Harmonmusic is a great seller

I've used other electronic tuners before for my mandolin but never a SNARK. The SNARK is easy to use and no directions are necessary to get started - very intuitive. It's also very durable - more on that later.
Tuning seems to be accurate and consistent.

I must also give a heartfelt endorsement to Harmon Music; the vendor that I bought my SNARK SN-8 from. When I received my SNARK SN-8, the packaging was completely destroyed. What I got in the mail was delivered in a zip lock baggie. Somewhere in the shipment process the packaged must have gotten caught in in some kind of machinery because the packaging was shredded, nothing left of the box, the bag that the tuner was supposed to be in was shredded and the bubble envelope used to ship it were all destroyed. The SNARK SN-8 was badly abraded, have the lettering on the face was gone and the case was cracked, but amazingly it still worked! I notified Harmon Music via E-bay and they immediately sent me a new one - no questions asked. I highly recommend Harmon Music as a business that is truly concerned with customer service. I can not say enough good about Harmon Music and I plan to conduct business with them in the future.

OK for "in the ballpark" tuning for acoustic instruments. Not "Super tight" at all.

This tuner is not great. Does not work with my Gibson SG, which is probably why there are so many warnings in the packaging about not clipping this tuner on a Gibson so as not to mar the finish. I had this tuner and my old Sabine St1500 running at the same time with my Fender Tele; the Snark would show a string as being in tune while the Sabine would still show it slightly out of tune. Listening then proved the Sabine right. Snark was indeed too good to be true for under $20.Read full review...

"Compact and easy to use"

Wow....I always tuned by ear and now I find using the "Tuner" that my hearing was off, sharp (#). This is easy to use, just clip it on and pluck the string. The tuner will show you the the note. I would recommend the "Super Tight" to any one who plays a stringed instrument. Paul B.Read full review...

Best guitar tuner ever!

Best guitar tuner ever!
I can't tell you how many electronic tuners I have gone through in the past 15 years. Brands like Korg, Reverb, and Snark. Literally dozens, and probably about 10 of the various Snark tuners.
This is by far the best.
I purchased this based upon the recommendations of another reviewer on Amazon, who pointed out that other Snark "Super Tight" electronic tuners have a needle that gets lost in the colors that border it. This reviewer pointed out that another Super Tight tuner was available that had this sort of "bar graph" face. It was (he explained) far easier to use, and far easier for my old eyes to differentiate.
This was 100% accurate, and I am loving this tuner. I would even say that Snark improved the ruggedness of this tuner. In the past I have broken several tuners at the joint where the neck meets the swivel head. It appears to be even stronger now.
Very easy to use, and also easy to see. All around brilliant in it's simplicity.
Highly recommended.

Snark ST-8

The Snark ST-8 is just a great little tuner. It's compact, fast, accurate, and works for all of my guitars and banjos. I was especially surprised how well it tuned my electric guitar in a noisy environment. It's easy to use and easy to see. Mounts snugly with padded clip but transfers from one instrument to another quickly. So far, it's the best tuner I've owned.Read full review...

Mini Guitar Tuner

It is one of the coolest turners i have seen or used in a long time. I wished i would have one when i was on the road. I turn my harp in less than 15 minutes with this turner. It is crazy good. Small, compact, easy to use, & under priced. I highly recommend it. A must have!!!Read full review...

Snark tuner

OMG ! This device is WONDERFUL ! Easy to use, and oh so accurate. Fast, compact.- I would recommend this to anyone in the music field. AND I HAVE ! As a matter of fact, I did just that . A young man was confused about his tuning--I told him to purchase a tuner ( SNARK ), tune his guitar 440 pitch and he would see instant results in his playing. He did, and I was oh so proud to have been the gal who steered him in that direction. You have one very impressed buyer here. Thank you.Read full review...

Still... Just the best tuner on the market

I have had quite a few Snark tuners over the last few years. I give them away as fast as I buy them sometimes. They have all been consistently the fastest and most responsive tuners I have ever used. I have tried many others, trying to buy something exciting and new, but always find these much faster, easier to read, and easier to use in general. They are incredibly durable, super fast... And for around 10 bucks, you can make a great friend at your next festival.

...I like the new gold button. Sharp!

Good and worth it.

I also have a few TC Electronice tuners, $50 each. They work a bit faster at getting my low B in tune, and the display is really good even in bright sun. But I keep some extra tuners around in my music room, and the snark tight fit works great for 1/4 the price. It is not that big of a difference between the two brands, especially for the money.Read full review...

Snark ST-8 Super Tight Clip on Tuner Tap Tempo Metronome

The tuner works fine. It is hands free once you turn it on. It shuts down after 2 minutes if no sound is detected, nice for saving the battery (CR2032 Lithium), It has a transpose feature for using a capo. Push a button for the number of frets you are setting the capo at and the tuner will adjust to read the strings as EADGBE. I have not used this feature yet. It also has a metronome adjustable from 40-250 bpm. The metronome display is tiny and I don't use it. Overall I like the tuner but not the metronome feature.Read full review...
