Reviews around sunlight (5.00 of 5)

  • Even in fairly bright sunlight, I can still see the reflections on steel strings, although it might be a problem for nylon

Reviews around way (3.61 of 5)

  • If you practice, it can be quite fast and precise at a level way, way beyond its meager price
  • All in all a quick, tiny, accurate way of tuning a guitar.
  • The needle in my chromatic tuner (a needle drawn on an LCD) wobbles a
  • In fairly dim light, for a guitar in standard tuning and a really hawk-eyed musician, it makes a good and certainly a compact way to check an almost-in tune situation

Reviews around thing (3.61 of 5)

  • Compared to your typical guitar tuner in normal use, this thing is a pain to use
  • This thing is kinda cool, a new idea or way of doing something, but also not so easy to use
  • This thing works great for a cheap strobe tuner.
  • I really find this thing useful with relative tuning; once I get the low E string in tune, I can use the strobe to check the A string and also visually and audibly compare it to low E at fret 5.

Reviews around tune (3.22 of 5)

  • If you need to do non-standard tuning, you'll have to use the strobe against a fretted string; for Drop D tuning, for example, you'll need to fret the low E at 2 and use E6 for comparison.
  • No need to hear the notes yet be in perfect tune easoer anf faster than other tuners
  • So if you cant tune close by ear, you wont be able to use this, to fine tune it at all

Reviews around problem (2.54 of 5)

  • It works by showing you a pulse on the string, then you tune the string, to slow the pulse down, and stop it completely, to be in perfect tuneThe problem is, if the string is way out of tune, you will not see the pulse at all
  • If you need to do non-standard tuning, you'll have to use the strobe against a fretted string; for Drop D tuning, for example, you'll need to fret the low E at 2 and use E6 for comparison.

Reviews around time (2.54 of 5)

  • You could use it as a backup in those aggravating times when all you have is a headstock clip-on and the noise level is so high that your guitar is picking up sympathetic harmonics out the wazoo: enter the light-based tuner, and problem solved
  • Works as well as tuners that sell for well over 5 times as much
  • If you need to do non-standard tuning, you'll have to use the strobe against a fretted string; for Drop D tuning, for example, you'll need to fret the low E at 2 and use E6 for comparison.
  • (I'd put it somewhere in the 3 - 5 cents range if you take enough time).
