5.0 out of 5 starsForget the Rest, This Tuner is the Best.
June 29, 2017
Hello Amazon Dwellers!

I looked high and low for the best tuner available and this is the one I chose. This one is Easy to use. I just set the tuner to Chromatic, and tuned my guitar quickly. Below are the pros and cons:
PROS:
1: Device is small, and can be easily stored in yer gig bag. Small is Nice!
2: The color display which is bright so you see everything the device is doing while tuning.
3: It also has a mic for tuning so you have 2 great options to choose from.
4: Tuning is simple: The display shows what string you are tuning, and tells you if you need to tune up or down. When the needle hits the center, yer string is tuned. Oh, how I LOVE simplicity.
5: The clip has rubber grips on it so it will not slip around yer head stock while tuning. Brilliant!!
6: Comes with the battery! Common, who doesn't love that?
7: 360 degree swivel display. You clip it on, move it to yer liking.
8: Three year Guarantee with no questions asked!! THREE YEARS!!! That makes 2ed very happy.
9: I think this is the best Pro: The 2 ultra cool people who own Groovy are actual musicians, not a third party vendor who has no idea how to handle technical questions. You send them an email question and they respond promptly and wont rest till you have the issue resolved. Thanks you two!! I'll be pestering you with questions, so look out!!!!
CONS:
1: Look, I'm hard to please. If I'm going to give you my money, what ever I buy better be Primo. So, that being said, I can truthfully say that I find no cons with this device and the Customer Service.
2: Ok, perhaps one thing: Groovy didn't send me the tuner for free. I'll get over it.

I HIGHLY recommend this tuner. I can tune my guitar by ear, yes, but this tuner saves me time and many broken strings ( along with not saying bad words when the string snaps and whacks me in my eye ) when I used ( key word here being USED) to tune by ear. The CS is some of the best I've encountered, and I love the guarantee.

Buy it, Use it, Love it.

Later,
2ed

2.0 out of 5 starsFast response, Poor Tuning Octave-to-Octave
April 20, 2018
Does not tune accurately from octave to octave. I play 5-string banjo. When tuning the 3rd string to G4 (by the tuner), then tuning the 5th string to G5 (one octave higher), by the tuner, the string would not match by ear nor when a 12th-fret harmonic was played on the 3rd string.

I also found the tuner to not be accurate when a 440hz "A" tuning fork was applied. It was off by 1-2 hz. This can be compensated for on the tuner by adjusting the reference frequency on the tuner, but that made no difference in the octave-to-octave accuracy.

The tuner did have good response time (which is what I was hoping for), but if it isn't accurate, what good is it? I have been using an "Intellitouch PT10" for many years, and although it is a little slow, the tuning is very accurate.

Maybe this was just a "bad one", but it performed poorly none-the-less. What a bummer...

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Customer Service
September 2, 2015
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I have played the guitar for years and recently purchased a ukulele. Needing a good tuner to tune both, I purchased this tuner. It arrived quickly. However, when I went to use it, the tuner did not properly function. It worked fine in mic mode but did not work in clip mode. I was a little surprised based upon all the great reviews so I contacted the company "Groovy Center." Within a few hours the co-owner had contacted me. After telling him my issue, he immediately shipped me another one. It arrived quickly and worked perfectly. The clip mode is great. You can tune your stringed instrument in the noisiest of places and still get it tuned quickly. I use it everyday. Even my 9 year old daughter, who is learning to play the ukulele uses it. It is easy to operate and makes tuning your instrument quick and easy. The company has exceptional customer service and a fan for life.

5.0 out of 5 starsExpert 5 String Tuning - Even for Dummies like Me
August 29, 2016
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
Look, I am a rank beginner at the Banjo. I was able to take the Real Tuner out of its package, turn it on, and perfectly tune my 5-String torture device in under two minutes. For someone like me with no Ear whatsoever, it's a blessing to be able to start this long journey knowing that the Instrument is exactly as it should be. It's going to take way longer than that for my Finger Rolls to threaten anyone in the Bluegrass Hall of Fame. However long that is, though, my banjo will always be in tune. Isn't that exactly why you Pop for a tool like this in the first place?

5.0 out of 5 starsA great tuner, and tremendous customer service - but verify accuracy
April 24, 2016
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Great tuner. First I bought a Fender FT-004, which gets great reviews. I hated it: slow, slow, slow. I kept overshooting the tuning, up and down. I threw it away and got this instead. Fast, bright, small pitch increments work very well. Sensitive enough even for intonation adjustments (although not nearly as good as an expensive tuner or a strobe). It is a bit bigger than many headstock tuners, including the Fender, but still fits in the case when attached. I've already bought a second one for my son.

UPDATE #1:
Purchased a second tuner, and this one was off by a full half step. Honestly, I've never seen a tuner this "out of tune" . So, five stars for the first one and one star for the second, averages to three stars.

UPDATE #2
Back up to 5 stars. Vendor noticed my first update and sent me an apologetic email, a new tuner, and a gift. Happy to report that the new tuner is dead on. So 2 out of 3 were perfect. Maybe the 2nd was just a lemon. I suggest you verify yours against a friend's tuner, a piano, etc. Make sure it's right. If you have a problem, contact the vendor. They are very responsive. I am a very happy customer and heartily recommend this tuner.

June 3, 2015
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I've never used a clip-on tuner before. This little accessory is great. I clip it on the headstock of my guitar and use the G-mode to tune every string. It displays the string number (1-6) and the note name (E,B,G,D,A,E) using the vibration of your instrument. When the needle is in the middle the string is tuned. It is not affected by surrounding noise.The most beautiful thing is the color display which is bright and very informative. The response is fast. Also my 10 year old daughter plays the Violin at the school's orchestra. She is using it too in order to tune her instrument. Although she was reluctant to use it in the beginning insisting that she can do a better job tuning her violin by ear, after using it she loved it. Real Tuner also has an internal mic that captures the sound of the note played instead of the vibration. There are other more advanced features which we have not tried yet. This is a great product and you cannot beat the price.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery versatile tuner with multiple features. Get a couple!
August 4, 2018
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
This is an awesome little tuner! I've been playing several different instruments for over 50 years, and teach, so I've had many tuning devices, but none with the capability of this one - especially at this price. I bought it for guitar/ukelele/banjo. But it does so much more. Nice feature is being able to not only clip it on the instrument (uses vibrations), but I can also attach it to my music stand and turn on the built in mic! Great idea. Saves so much time with students and friends who come over to jam. Can be used on many different instruments, has different keys/tunings built in, also identifies the string you're playing by number (again, great for students). No issues so far. A gem!

5.0 out of 5 starsBetter then a Snark!
July 16, 2018
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
Just got this tunner s few day's ago. Replaced a snark I had for a couple years, that just started to fall apart. So far, I like this tunner better. The face is bigger then the snarks round one. I like the control buttons better also. The on and off one is on the left top corner, it's easier to get too then the snarks, which is on the bottom center. It comes on quick and get to the tunniing fast. It seems to be built better also. It cost more, maybe that's why. The prongs that holds the ball are larger and thicker, then the snarks, that broke when it was dropped. So hopefully they won't break on this one. Time will tell how it holds up, but for now I can recommend this product 100%. I also like the white, sharp looking on a guitar!

September 9, 2015

I have several Snarks but I wanted another clip on tuner as I keep one in each guitar case. I saw positive reviews about this as an alternative to a Snark and I liked the fact that people said that the Real Tuner was bright. I think Snarks are not bright enough. I bought the Real Tuner. It came quickly. The display is bright. There are multiple settings- guitar, bass, chromatic, and maybe a fourth one. It remembers which one you select so you don't have to scroll through every time you turn it on. The owner of the company emailed me the next day to see if I got it and liked it. It's a breath of fresh air to buy from a company with great customer care. The only downside is that the first one I got failed to work after one day of use. The owner assured me that this was an unusual occurrence and sent me a replacement that arrived in two days. That tuner seems to be fine.
In all fairness, I have had a Snark die after dropping it once, so at these low prices, they are almost disposable. If this Real Tuner lasts a year it will be worth the $10. I do like the bright display! With the great customer care I got, I recommend this tuner.
