le meilleur des Snark
Comme les autres Snark, mais + Tight = mieux. Rien à dire de plus, je trouve que la batterie ce vide assez vite quand même.
ProsTight
visibilité
maniabilité
Conssensible au froid (ne s'allume pas lorsqu'il est trop froid)

Just OK
If you are looking for an inexpensive tuner to get your guitar into the ballpark then this may be for you. However, I always have to spend time fine-tuning after I use this tuner. I have 2 Taylor guitars, both of which have just recently been set up. My ancient OnBoard tuner and GuitarToolKit app tuner on my iPhone do a better job.
ProsVery inexpensive
Fast response
ConsInaccurate

I Wasn't So Lucky
Obviously, most of these tuners work fine. However, mine was a dud. It only worked a few times before it became progressively dimmer and inoperable. Replacing the battery was to no avail. I trashed it and will opt for something better next time... like the Boss, inline tuner. I'll pay extra for something that is proven to last a lifetime. In my case, It was the luck of the draw. BUMMER!
ProsI was able to use it a few times.
ConsIt may or may not work.

Fantastic tuner for the price
Fantastic tuner for the price and all my other tuners are confined to the cupboard. Only issue was the rubber pad on the moving arm was not glued down well enough. found it on the floor first day I used it and it regularly falls off. Still give it 5* though.
ProsValue
Bright
Accurate
Automatic.
ConsRubber pad falls off

Works perfectly!
I've tried others and they were finiky. But this one works fast and every time. I ordered a second one for my other guitar.

Quicker, Faster, More Subtle
I've enjoyed Snark tuners for a couple of years now. With this version, they've gone over the top! Faster, more accurate, easier to use... I'm glad I bought one of these!
ProsFaster
More accurate
Easier to read
ConsDoesn't seem to turn itself automatically as quickly (or at all?) This might be a setting. I never read manuals.

Best clip-on tuner on the market!!
This tuner is fantastic. I play upright bass. Most clip-on tuners get lost on the E string. This one work better than any other if tried, even the grossly more expensive ones. I bought one for each of my uprights.

Accurate and responsive
It is easy and comfortable to use, the readings are very accurate and come up quickly. It does seem fragile though, but it's everything it should be and more for the price.

Simply Amaizing!
I have run into many tuners in my time and the problem has always been accuracy and being stable. With these other tuners I was constantly fighting the tuner when I got close to having the string in tune. The display would wander or shift to either flat of sharp and it was very difficult to hit the target in the middle. Thus I was amazed when I clamped the Snark onto my guitar and turned it on. This thing is rock solid and very precise in it's action. What a steal for $13! Tuning is a breeze and quick since you are not constantly chasing what seems to be a very elusive target. Appears to be well made, though it will take time to verify that.
ProsWell made and designed.
You will wonder how you ever got along without it.
No drift, very accurate and precise.
Nice sized display which is easy to see and read.
ConsWhat? No lifetime free batteries?

Snark = Great Tuner
This simply does the job of tuning my guitars, especially my acoustics. I've tried other much cheaper (unknown) brands, they just don't give the same tuning accuracy as Snark. I have three acoustic guitars and it is still affordable enough for me to have one for each guitar case :)
ProsAccurate, Visible, Affordable
ConsI would like it to be a bit more compact, but the present size is acceptable

Snark SN8
I've owned several types of tuners over the years, but this sn-8 seems just easier to use, my friends all use snarks but it took me a while to finally buy one and I wasn't disappointed. This is the 2nd one I have bought, the first was gifted to a friend who didn't own a tuner.
Prosvery accurate
easy to use
price can't be beat

They work great.
I've been playing several years and have tried about every kind of tuner there is. Including the ones that stick on to the more expensive ones that attach to your headstock. Plus it has a metronome and the ability to change the pitch in case you're playing with an out of tune piano at church. I have several.
ProsThey don't give "ghost" readings.
The metronome is great,
The 1st "real" inexpensive tuner.
The battery lasts a long time.
The batteries are easy to find.
ConsCan be broken if not handled carefully.

I Bought 2
I was so pleased with everything about the Snark SN-8 tuner that I bought a second one. I’ve had others, but the SN-8 has been better in every way: brighter; more accurate; less hesitant—there’s no delay in providing a reading; sure grip from the clamp; amazing price. I use them on six and twelve-string acoustic guitars and electric guitars.

best tuner on planet
I've got two great tuners sitting in a drawer for a year now since I bought my black SN8 from Strings and Beyond last holiday season..after 13 months of use on acoustics and electrics (none of them are in regular tuning so even more of a challenge) my SN8 is still the greatest tuner made love it...might even get a backup and I'm not sure why!!

Great tuner
Love this little thing - handy and accurate. Stays right on the headstock and the black color makes it almost invisible until I turn it on. Before Purchase I was doubtful that this would be accurate, but it's right on. I just leave it on my headstock. You'll ove it!
