While there are plenty of options for guitar and instrument tuners, few can offer the combination of convenience, ease of use, and affordability that you can find with the Snark SN-5 Clip On Guitar, Bass & Violin Tuner.

This tuner–which is one in a whole line of instrument tuners, clip on and otherwise, available from Snark–clips right on to the headstock of your acoustic or electric guitar, bass or violin. The High Sensitivity Vibration Sensor picks up the vibrations from your string and the Full Color Display shows you just how sharp or flat the string is, allowing you to correct the pitch. The display rotates 360 degrees and the sensor works the same whether it is in contact with the front or back of the headstock, making the tuner equally useful to right-handed and left-handed instruments. The battery-operated SN-5 has a frequency range tailored specifically to guitars, basses and violins. And the whole thing retails for only $19 (or less)!

Instead of fumbling with a tuning pedal or finding a quiet place to sit with a microphone-based tuner, just clip on a Snark tuner, tune up, and play.
