ENO 20537 Clip on Guitar Tuner Clip on Ukulele Tuner Bass Tuner Violin Tuner Chromatic Tuner with Battery Included

This is a truly great piece of kit for a truly ridiculously low price.I am new to guitars and to music generally - couldn't even read a single note. True, as some of the other reviewers have said this device could do with better instructions, but at this price you can perhaps expect to do a bit of digging on the internet for guidance. Believe me, if I can work it out so can you!Using it is simplicity in itself - press the "mode" button to flick through a handful of options, clip it to the headstock of your guitar, pluck a string and turn the machine head on your guitar until the display turns from orange to green to show that you have hit a particular note perfectly. Of course you have to know which note you wish to hit, but for people as ignorant as I was, one of the modes tells you which note relates to which string on a six string guitar. So for example "1E" comes up when you hit the higher E note required by the first string of a six-string guitar with standard tuning. The lower "E" note required by the sixth string comes up as "6E". A needle on the display shows you whether you are too low or too high for the note you are trying to tune your guitar into so you know which way to turn the machine head.The unit can sit happily on a table top with the swivelable display pointing towards you and in "microphone mode" it will tell you what any note played (or sung) is.I was a bit nervous about buying this unit due to the incredibly low price, but it is one of those rare products where the low price really ins't too good to be true - it does the job perfectly. You can tune your guitar in perfectly in a couple of minutes and so I do it virtually every time I play - it is just too easy not to! Even the build quality is good considering the price. I have seen this exact same product re-branded and priced at £20 in a bricks-and-mortar guitar shop.I had always intended for this product to "just get me started", but apart from the lack of a metronome which I know some tuners have I cannot see any reason to change it.

I chose this tuner based on good Amazon reviews about it's features, and it's good price. I bought it to replace a more expensive tuner that I lost, and a more complex tuner that I've never been able to work out how to use. I love this tuner and am so glad I chose it. It's very simple, easy to set up for someone like me with no technical ability, and user friendly. Easy to read screen which clearly turns from red to green when in tune, allowing you to easily tweak the tuning to get it accurate. The feature that made me choose this particular model above other brands was it's ability to name every note on the fretboard when you pick an individual note, (just press the 'chromatic' button). As a complete guitar beginner I'm finding this a really helpful aid to learning the individual notes on the fretboard. I'd highly recommend this little tuner, great for the price, and very speedy delivery.For anyone looking for other good teach yourself guitar aids - my absolute top tip is to look at Justin Sandecoe's 'Beginners Guitar Course' on Amazon, and his own website, justinguitar.com. After buying numerous other beginners books, CD's and DVD's, I've found that Justin Sandecoe's is by far the most comprehensive, detailed, and easy to follow pack, with a great inspring and motivating teaching style. I wish someone had told me about Justin when I first started learning guitar, I could have saved a fortune and hours of searching for other teach yourself products. I'm now happily learning at my own pace from Justin Sandecoe's range of beginners books, CD's, DVD's and downloads, all at very reasonable price, with some also free on youtube.

Excellent little guitar tuner, simple to use but very accurate and effective. Just clips onto the head of the guitar and displays a digital moving indicator as you bring the string up to the correct pitch, red display to start with, then when you get into the correct pitch frequency, displays green and indicates the key of the string that you are tuning. There is a low battery indicator, and a low battery does affect the accuracy of the device, so it is advisable to change it when low power is indicated. You will need a small watchmakers cross point screwdriver to remove the small screw that secures the battery compartment cover, and this can be a bit fiddly if you are not used to small devices, but otherwise a good product that takes any guess work out of tuning your guitar at a very low price. Well worth the cost and recommended purchase. Only four stars because of the necessity of the watchmakers crosspoint screwdriver to change the battery.
