  • 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.

    • Mighty Mite! PERFECT FOR HEADLESS!

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

    • I should buy them by the case!
Size: Single Pack Style: Universal
Though I received this for free to review, I have purchased 14(!) of the same model with a different clip (D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner.) Obviously, I really like this tuner. I used Snarks for years until I found this one and here's why I switched allegiance: -The D'Addario is faster and seems slightly more accurate -It's low-profile and discreet -It doesn't have a Sesame Street color scheme on the display When I got my first D'Addario tuner and put both it and my Snark on my guitar and compared them. The D'Addario caught the vibration of the string faster and held it better with less fluctuation. The several Snarks that I had always seemed to bounce around a lot when they were trying to "hear" the note. Once the string was properly tuned, both tuners showed similar readings, though the Snark was always a little flat, but that can be fixed with calibration. (I knew it was the Snark that was flat rather than the D'Addario reading sharp because I tested them both against my Peterson Strobe Tuner app. The D'Addario and the Strobe Tuner were pretty close - though the Strobe has a much finer level of detail.) Aside from that, everything else that separates the Snark and the D'Addario is just personal taste. I wear glasses (+1.75) to read and I find the D'Addario plenty big enough to read. The Snark screen is HUGE comparatively and it uses bright primary colors (red, yellow, and green) to help you zero in on the tuning. This is a great way to help engage a child in the process of tuning, but as an adult I find it a little remedial. The D'Addario also uses red, yellow and green as an aid, but the colors are muted so they are helpful without looking like something on a children's toy. Instead of a large, animated "speedometer" effect like the Snark, the D'Addario uses small lines on either side of the note. The more lines on the left, the more flat the note is. The more lines on the right, the more sharp it is. When the string is in tune there should be a single line on either side of the letter. It's the same concept as the Snark, but it's more subtle... once again, the D'Addario seems as though it's designed for adults rather than kids. The D'Addario model that I have been using has a small, locking clip that keeps the tuner against the headstock. It's super low-profile so no one knows it's there except me. The only problem with that model is that it's designed to stay on one instrument. When I'm playing with other people and someone needs a tuner it's kind of awkward to get off and on. And since it has a sliding lock rather than a spring-mount, if you don't cinch it down tightly it will fall off. It's not particularly heavy-duty so it can break if it falls. This spring lock on this model is far more secure and it's almost as discreet. The goose-neck on this tuner allows you to pop it up like a periscope when you are using it and tuck it flat when it's not in use. And because you can flip the display 180 degrees you can mount it either in front or behind the headstock and it's never upside-down. This is a great feature. Obviously, I really like these D'Addario tuners. The reason that I've purchased so many of them is because I keep one on each of my instruments and, also, I keep giving them away to people in my ukulele class. One broke when I dropped it - that sucked. When I perform I still use the model with the lower-profile clip, but I've put this spring-loaded clip version on the uke I take to class so I can take it off and pass it around more easily if I need to. This is probably much more than needs to be written about a tuner, but I really like it and people are always asking me about (because it looks so different than the Snark) and so I find myself talking about it's features a lot. I write reviews as a hobby for fun and it always makes my day when I find out that my reviews have helped someone, so leave a comment if you'd like, feel free to ask a question, or just say "Hi." ... show more

    • Excellent tuner
Size: Single Pack Style: Clip-On
This tuner works really well, not a single complain there. But I took off one star because the battery in it was too dead to run it. I replaced the battery and everything is fine now.
