Features

  • THE STEALTH TUNER - Your audience will never know there is a tuner on your instrument with the highly precise Micro Clip-On Tuner. The lightweight, discrete, compact tuner hides behind the headstock practically blending into the instrument and is small enough to be kept on your instrument while stored in its case. At 1.25", you will want one for each stringed instrument you own.
  • EXTREME ACCURACY - The NS Micro features an extremely accurate piezo transducer that picks up an instrument's vibration rather than sound. A wide calibration range (410-480Hz) guarantees precise performance.
  • EASY TO READ - The easy-to-read, tri-color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. Powered by a readily available (and included) CR2032 battery, you will enjoy maximum battery life thanks to the tuner's auto-off function.
  • VERSATILE - Featuring a 360-degree swivel mechanism and adjustable padded clamp, the NS Mini offers optimal viewing angles and maximum positioning flexibility. For left or right-handed instruments with small or large headstocks, it is the ideal choice for acoustic and electric guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos and ukuleles.

    • Compact, Accurate, and Super Convenient – A Must-Have for Any Musician! Compact, Accurate, and Super Convenient – A Must-Have for Any Musician!
Size: Two Pack Style: Clip-On
Review Image by P.L.
These D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuners are absolutely fantastic. I use them on both my acoustic and electric guitars, and they deliver quick, accurate tuning every time. The compact size is a huge plus—it stays out of sight while playing, and doesn't interfere with the aesthetics or balance of the instrument. The clip holds firmly without damaging the finish, and the display is bright and easy to read from multiple angles. I love that the 2-pack lets me keep one on each of my frequently used instruments—no need to swap tuners between sessions. It's also great that this works for a variety of string instruments including ukulele and banjo. Highly recommend for anyone from beginner to pro. This is one of those tools you end up using daily without even thinking about it—and wondering how you ever got by without it! ... show more

    • Perfect Small Tuner for Any Guitarist – Compact and Reliable!
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
I’ve used a lot of tuners over the years, and the D'Addario Accessories Micro Headstock Tuner is by far one of the best small tuners I’ve come across. The compact design makes it easy to clip onto my guitar without being in the way, and the discreet size doesn’t affect the look of my instrument. Despite its small size, it’s incredibly accurate and does the job perfectly every time. This tuner works great for acoustic, electric, bass guitars, and even my ukulele! It’s versatile and adapts easily to different instruments. I especially love how quickly it tunes – the LCD screen is easy to read, and the clip-on mechanism ensures a secure fit on the headstock. It also holds up well, even in noisy environments like band practice or gigs. What really stands out is how reliable and consistent it is. It’s easy to use, and the precision of the tuning is spot on. The low profile doesn’t distract, and the fact that it’s so lightweight makes it perfect for travel. Whether I’m at home or on the go, I always have it with me for quick tuning. If you’re looking for a small, high-quality tuner that won’t let you down, the D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuner is a must-have. I highly recommend it for both beginners and seasoned players alike! ... show more

    • Love the smallness
Size: Two Pack Style: Clip-On
The first clip-on tuners I ever bought were Snarks and have always been happy with their performance and the very nice and easy to read display...….but I absolutely love the low profile of the D'addario clip-on tuners. So much less noticeable on your instrument!!! By far, this is the best and maybe only selling point of this tuner. You do sacrifice in a smaller display but it is readable. Also, the plastic ratchet clamp that you adjust to fit to your headstock is noticeably cheap. I bought the 2 pack and the first time I attempted to clip one onto a rather small ukulele headstock, I was immediately concerned with the clamp breaking. It seemed stuck and wasn't easy to adjust or open up to a larger size. With care, I manage to slip it on and everything now is fine, just be careful the first few times you are adjusting the clamp and don't use force. If needed look at the video. Also, at the time of my purchase, this seller was still running an older add with a metronome feature included in the tuner. I bought the 2 pack option in Oct. 2019 and the metronome feature is not included in this model. Not a deal breaker for me though because I bought this for the low profile.....just be aware. Also, these do come already loaded with batteries, which is nice but you never know how long these batteries have been sitting in these preloaded models before being shipped out. I always make a point to turn mine off immediately after tuning and one of the batteries died after 2 days. Again, not a deal breaker for me but probably a smart thing to have a few spare batteries with you even with a brand new tuner. Time will tell how well these will hold up but any other clip-on from now on is going to seem huge in size after using these. So far, even with the cons, I am loving them. ... show more

I have over 30 guitars, and a similar army of headstock tuners. Snark, Fender, Donner... A few years ago I settled in on the D'Addario tuners. Most accurate, most convenient, best visibility. I mostly have the big rectangle ones... I bought a Gretsch hollowbody with a Bigsby. That guitar needs a dedicated tuner. So I decided to give this a try. VERY small. I'm able to tuck this around the back of the headstock, and you would not know it's there. Replaceable battery, so I can use this for a long time. Same great tuning ability I have come to know and love from D'Addario. What I did not expect - OMG. This is perfect for headless guitars. I have struggled mightily to get the "usual" clips to sit on a headless guitar with varying degrees of success for a while now. This fits perfectly on my Strandberg Salen Jazz, my Kiesel Vader, my Steinberg Spirit... If you have headless guitars, get one. ... show more

    • I Set My Guitar's Intonation With It--Perfect Job!
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
Yeah...I know it's small, but it's mighty! I used it, exclusively, to micro-tune my classical guitar, constantly taking readings with this tuner at the 12th fret as compared to the open note and adjusting the saddle as needed. This tuner did a great job--I didn't need my old rack-mount tuner because this one was super-accurate, and that really surprised me!!!!! The proof is in the pudding, they say, and now, thanks to this inexpensive but great tuner, the intonation on my guitar is about as perfect as it can be (given the fact that it is an acoustic instrument) which the flutist and violinist I play with appreciate a lot. I liked it so much that I purchased two more for my other classical and my steel-string Taylor, and it works great on both of those too. ... show more

    • This thing is awesome
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
I love this tuner. I actually bought 2 of them. Clip on tuners are great especially since they don't make me take up a space on my board for a tuner pedal. But they can be kind of an eye sore on an otherwise awesome looking guitar. This one is so small you barely notice it's there. The battery lasts a long time and it's very accurate for tuning guitar and bass. I want one for every guitar I have because it's super convenient to just leave it on the headstock. It's very inconspicuous. I wish I had 6 of them. ... show more

    • Works well, small, easily clips to a fiddle, accurate, easy to read. Unreliable ON/OFF switch.
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
Works well, small, easily clips to a fiddle, accurate, easy to read. HOWEVER, I was starting to put one of these on every instrument I own (5 - fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitarx2). I had one on my fiddle that wouldn't turn on so I returned it. Now I own two (out of 5) that won't turn on reliably. The switch on the top is not reliable. I'm moving to a different brand. ... show more

I got a 2 pack and these are awesome. They are very responsive and very tiny. Buyer beware, I liked these so much I wanted more for my other basses, but even though I "bought again" they ended up arriving with a different clamp. Which was much wider and won't work for any guitar I'm aware of. It must be a clamp for some other instrument. I returned it and am having them replace with the same thing. In hopes someone just grabbed the wrong one off the shelf. (Update: Order came in today, They are now correct 2nd Photo below) ... show more
