" ... It's adjustable, too, to fit all kinds of instruments. ... "
" ... Great size, fits in Guitar sound hole. ... "
" ... It fit securely on my bass and picked up the vibrations needed to tune it up. ... "
" ... They can stay on my guitars and fit in all my cases without having to remove them. ... "
" ... Prefer the spring loaded clip on ones over the even smaller footprint slide on ones with small ratchet system - worth the extra money as the ratchet one I had the non-slip pad quickly became unglued and re-gluing didn't work. ... "
" ... These are so small, they easily fit in the case while attached to the headstock. ... They rotate on the clip, but so far for where I've attached these it appears that the place where this tuner actually attaches to the instrument will never move, which means no more scratching my headstock. ... "
" ... The best solution is to leave the tuner attached, but most must be removed when the guitar is put in it's case. ... "
" ... Great tuners and compact enough not to fall off. ... "

" ... I'll eventually put one on every guitar I own. ... "
" ... Great tuners and compact enough not to fall off. ... "
" ... Quite responsive, like it! ... "
" ... Much easier to tune with the visual at the neck. ... "
" ... so compact against the head stock that I leave them permanently attached to all my individual guitars, I own four of them". ... "
" ... But even better is when slid into the designed slot on the excellent variable pressure easy to use capos. ... "
" ... So I just depend on my ear for the most part and look for it to turn green to know when it's exactly in tune. ... "
" ... They stay on the back of the head-stock so they are unnoticeable from the front of the guitar. ... "

" ... These are so small, they easily fit in the case while attached to the headstock. ... "

" ... I like the form factor, and the ability to keep it clipped on my headstock while in the case. ... "
" ... I positioned mine behind the headstock on a Les Paul so far. ... "
" ... one for my steel string guitar as well. ... The clamping system seems strong and secure. ... This is a good thing for it reduces the risk of damage, but a person could be easily lose or break the clamping mechanism if put under to much stress. ... So far I have inadvertently separated the tuner from the clamp twice under stress yet have not broken or lost any parts. ... "
" ... So small they hide well and more importantly they can stay on the guitar at all times. ... They can remain on the instrument even when put in it's case. ... "

" ... but good god, the buttons on it are so loose that if you strum hard (or pluck hard on a bass) they hum and buzz and it's annoying and difficult to ignore once you notice it. ... "

" ... I can leave it on the bass guitar and it's hardly noticeable, yet readily available. ... "

" ... But this tiny little tuner is different- I knew from the minute I saw one on a friends bass that I would get several, and I did. ... "
