SNARKST-2 Chromatic All Instrument Tuner, Rechargeable

I have used Snark tuners for years and because of their affordability I had no problem lending/giving the one on my guitar to another musician who needed one. If you have never used this type of tuner, it allows you to tune in noisy environments by reading the vibrations from the headstock of the guitar.The ST-2 is a nicer version (a couple steps up from the base model) and is quicker to tune, can be set for different tunings, can be set to work with its' built-in mike or (better) from the vibrations of the instrument. Because of the nature of its' clamp, this chromatic tuner can be placed on the tubing of brass instruments, the headstock on a guitar/stringed instrument, or the bell of a woodwind instrument. It can also be set to work with its built-in microphone and attached to your music stand (perhaps for use by a vocalist). The neck/display is adjustable for almost any angle and the display is large and easy to read. The ST-2 also has an automatic shut-off feature that turns the unit off after 10 minutes to conserve batteries. My other unit doesn't have the shut-off, alternative tunings, or the microphone feature. The shut-off would have helped me since I sometimes leave it on and find it dead the next day. Comparatively, I also use the D'Addario which is quick to tune, super low profile, and has a button to adjust the orientation of the screen's readout. This allows the tuner to be placed almost anywhere on a headstock, even between tuning pegs. It only works on guitars.If you are a serious musician or just really enthusiastic this is a great piece of equipment for you and will help your music.

I use this with my electric guitar and it's really handy .. i would say for practicing and on the spot tuning it works really well and is pretty accurate . if you are tuning for gigs i would suggest a better quality tuner for more accuracy . This tuner is excellent and easy to use for beginners ! and anyone wanting to do a quick tuning , it's very convenient . no batteries needed . works right out of the box .

Great tuner, works as it should, I use it on my banjo.

Bright Display, fast response, accurate and inexpensive. Easy and intuitive to use, large button and display. Design allows the display to pivot to almost any position, much better than competitor tuners. Rechargeable. Highly recommend.

Very accurate and easy to use. Powers up faster than my other tuners. Snark advises not to use this tuner with instruments having these types of finishes: nitrocellulose lacquer, polyurethane, French polish, or oil finish, so based on that I don't leave it on my nitro headstock for any length of time. Clipping it on and off instruments adds up to a hinge failure or the grommet falling off.

Excellent tuner, and nice color. It tuned my guitar perfectly in just a few minutes. I have a lot of tuners including another snark tuner. This is the best one I have used so far. I think the price is pretty good for a really great tuner.

I got this for my partner, who I just got a bass for his birthday. The tuner it came with sucked, and wanting nothing but the best for them, I got this in hopes it would be as good as others said it was.Thank God it was! The battery came fully charged, and we haven't even had to charge it since their birthday two weeks ago. It's pretty easy to use, the screen is pretty readable with how bright it lights up, and it's overall a really nice quality! It's slightly bigger than I expected, but looking at other tuners it now seems like a perfect size. It functions perfectly, and it reads true! My partner has been using it almost daily, and they love it so far. 10/10 would recommend :)

Works great. This will save on the consumption of batteries. Glad they finally came out with a rechargeable version of Snark.
