St - 8 snark tuner
August 29, 2020
I'm thinking some of these reviewers got bad snark tuners, or they just don't understand. I've been playing guitars for 35 years, and have a pretty diverse collection of acoustic guitars, martins, taylors, yamaha, guild, d angelico, breedloves. Everyone, EVERYONE, of my guitars has its own snark tuner, clipped to the headstock, or in its hardcase. I'm currently replacing all tuners with the newest st-8 snark. The ease with how it tuned my 12 strings, made a multi buyer out of me. My point is 35 years playing experience, multiple guitars, and honestly, I haven't had one failure of a snark tuner. I've had to replace, a battery or two, but that's it.
I recommend them to all my playing friends

ProsEasy to read, multiple hz settings. nice little metronome. inexpensive.
ConsSome of my snarks have a clip holder. put clip holders on all snark clip on tuners

No More Of These Cheap Tuners For Me
April 17, 2020
I've purchased three of these Snark tuners & they have all failed after a short period of time. Replacing the battery is another waste of time & money. Forget about them... they're just another cheap, foreign made product. Do yourself a favor & avoid them. Sure, they work fine initially but will not last. I'm living proof & will not waste more $$ on them.
ProsWorks OK for a short period of time... anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the luck of the draw.
ConsWill not last very long.

Works really great.
Tried many models of Snark clip-on, this one is simple, does the job right.

Bright display, very responsive and compact size makes this very versatile.
I especially like how quickly it starts up and turns off compared to another tuner I own.
Great price and value.

Easily the best tuner for the money

Tried this tuner after trying several other types.
This is by for the easiest tuner to use. Very accurate, no frills.
Will probably buy another to keep in gig bag.

The "Super Tight" does help
October 30, 2018
I do like the Snark Tuners, they work well - they're easy to read, and accurate. The super tight is a good improvement on their design. For a very good general tuner, these are recommended. Good for all guitars, ukes, basses, violins, cellos, etc.
ProsSmall, easy to use, easy to read, accurate.
ConsCan be breakable at the pivot points. I've broken a couple Snarks - Though, the super tight seems stronger.

Easy to Use

Clip on, press the button, hit the string. Simple, easy to understand, clear display.
I want to play music, not spend ages trying to work out how to use the tuner.
This one is great value, accurate, without needing a tech degree to use it.
Perfect !

great tuner
April 24, 2018
I have tried several clip-on type tuners, including Korg, D'Addario, and an older Snark one. I really like and prefer the ST-8. I find that this tuner is accurate, works fast, and is very easy to use. I have since ordered another one just like this.
Prosfast, accurate, easy to see, nice simple display
Consnone that I can tell so far.

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

Conssensible au froid (ne s'allume pas lorsqu'il est trop froid)

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

Fantastic tuner for the price
March 30, 2016
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

Quicker, Faster, More Subtle
October 20, 2015
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!!
October 1, 2015
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.

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!
February 10, 2015
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?
