Reviews around price (4.68 of 5)

  • The Snark SN-8 works great, even though it sometime misreads the high E as an A if plucked too softly
  • I have owned a lot of tuners over the years but this is the best and most quality tuner I have ever owned and the price is unmatched.
  • Works great for my guitar and bass, great product, super price!
  • Accurate tuner at a really great price, no reason to not have one of these, especially great when restringing my guitars at home and for my solo acoustic gigs.

Reviews around display (4.51 of 5)

  • The display is clear and easy to read without being distracting or annoying
  • Feels a little flimsy and the display can be hard to read unless it's positioned at exactly the right angle, but overall, an inexpensive tuner for my upright.
  • Bright display is great and easy to see, especially during the daytime
  • I dont play outdoors, but for all my indoor gigs I have never had any issues reading the display.
  • I thought this would be a great tuner, but if you are outside during the daytime, the display is not bright enough to see anything

Reviews around value (4.38 of 5)

  • The Snark SN-8 works great, even though it sometime misreads the high E as an A if plucked too softly
  • Snark has a good reputation for dependability and the value is pretty good on this one.
  • If I miss the low E, might over tighten the string.
  • And, when I held the tuning fork against the Snark, it immediately showed a pure "A".
  • Did exactly as i hoped it would and worked exactly as it said it would

Reviews around tune (4.36 of 5)

  • Where it doesn't work for me is on our very inexpensive nylon string acoustic with cheap tuning pegs and where the strings get hung up in the nut (guess I should replace those
  • My only complaint is that it has trouble picking up the low E during tuning
  • Makes tuning really easy and fast so you can get right to the music.
  • makes tuning your acoustic instrument in loud environments super easy!
  • I had always struggled tuning in a noisy room and this offered the solution.

Reviews around clip (3.75 of 5)

  • The best and fastest clip on tuner that I owned so far.
  • I've also tried the D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On but returned it because of the small battery compartment that was crazy-difficult to open--and the questionable clip with pre-set notches
  • Granted, there are more accurate clip on tuners (Peterson Stroboclip on tuner for example), but those are really expensive and it would be cost prohibitive for me to have one in every guitar case
  • The clip is nice and sturdy and keeps the tuner attached securely
  • This is an excellent clip on tuner that is easy to use and see

Reviews around plastic (2.54 of 5)

  • I bought this because my old clip on tuner didn't respond very quickly, and was chewing up my headstock due to a couple of hard plastic ridges
  • Everything is great except that the cheap plastic broke and it is now useless to me
  • There is a little rubber foot that fits on the hard plastic, but it falls off very easily
  • The plastic supports that hold the movable arm do break, but they are so good you will replace it with another.
  • Did exactly as i hoped it would and worked exactly as it said it would

Reviews around battery (2.43 of 5)

  • I also wish the button that turns it on were harder to press down, because I find that these things turn on inside the case and burn the battery down prematurely.

  • Did exactly as i hoped it would and worked exactly as it said it would
  • The batteries that it takes are very easy to find and are relatively cheap

Reviews around stage (2.31 of 5)

  • They are accurate and can be seen on a dark stage easily
  • The backlight is just strong enough to see on both dark and bright stages, without screaming to the audience, "yep, this guy is tuning right now."Plus, if the other band members forget their Snarks, it's easy to pass around and hasn't had trouble with any stringed
  • And, when I held the tuning fork against the Snark, it immediately showed a pure "A".
  • Also, if you are anything like me, the black is very easy to lose on dark stages at the end of the night
  • Unusual deep, rich black color with extra bright light for dark stages.

Reviews around design (1.69 of 5)

  • The tuner looks really nice but its design is very troublesome
  • " " and I handle them carefully even being only used in a "Studio Only" Really Poor design
