This new Snark is compact and is also fast, stable and easy to read

my favorite snark, broad center band, no post to break off, easy to read - large screen.

I have multiple Snark SN-2 tuners plus a SN-8, but was tempted by this new version with no gooseneck

I used the Snark SN-8 previously and loved it, but it keeps disappearing

This Snark is compact, but because it lacks any ability to swivel the direction of the display, I found it impossible to clamp this model to the headstock of old-time banjos with relatively small peg heads and straight-through tuning pegs.

It does require a teeny bit of twisting a neck (either mine or the banjo's!) to see it clearly, but the size is more convenient if you want to carry it in your pocket and there's no neck to snap

They work as advertised, are amply accurate and easy to read

Works as advertised.

It works as advertised and didn't cost much.

it does not affix to the head stock securely and once affixed it can not be adjusted for optimal viewing.

Ditto everyone who commented on lack of adjustment for easier viewing

If you read the instructions they tell you how to position the Mini for optimal viewing

The tuner works well, but it does not swivel, so there are few good ways to mount it for easy viewing

A lot of folks reviewing the S-1 complained that they could not read the display because they were not able to rotate the screen for a better view

I like the clear, bright screen; it's large and easy to read

I like the round version better.

I thought the smaller version would be a nice-to-have and the price was right

Even if this *is* an issue, its small square shape makes it very easy to slip into a pocket while not in use, so I still think it's worth 4 stars.

Perfect compact size and shape

I love these clip-on tuners

For banjos in particular, I recommend the Snark adaptor clip available from Stewart-McDonald than takes a Snark

We love the fact that we don't have to know, at least at this point, whether uke is in tune or not.

Tiny, accurate, readable, affordable - what more do you need?

The display is easy to read on dark stage or full daylight.

It has a nice clear display but you can't see it unless you're a certified contortionist

Although the display is bright and easy to read, the tuner is not adjustable on the headslock at all.

display is wonderful, maybe some day they will make it so you can see it

The display is nice, electronics are excellent, but just a little awkward for the banjo

When I clip the Son of Snark, Snark on to my uke, I place it on the end of where the four tuning thingys are, you know, on the end of where you twist the thingys to get the right tuning

You can leave it on your head stock while you play and tune between songs without taking that infamous "tuning break" that slows gigs down.

It says on the Snark box: "flawless tuning, and expect a miracle."
