I've got one of these. It's a good, inexpensive tuner that swivels, has a digital "needle" to show you sharp/flat and can tune my mandolin as well as my guitar. For the price, it's an excellent tuner!

Quality adjustable clip-on backlit tuner with LCD screen, large note indicator, and back light options, so can be used in dark conditions.Extremely sensitive and accurate. Suitable for use with any music instrument including brass, woodwind, strings, guitar, bass, vocal and keyboards. This tuner has a multi colored (red, yellow and green) LCD screen to let you know if you are flat, sharp or in tune. Includes special features to save battery power. When the tuner is not in use the back light will gradually fade out leaving a normal LCD screen. The tuner will also auto power off after 3 minutes if no buttons are pushed or noise detected. Both these functions will save you money on replacing batteries. There is also a spare battery included. A very clever and practical design with a 360 degree adjustable swivel and angled face will allow you to position the LCD screen at all viewable angles. This truly is an innovative and efficient tuner taking advantage of the latest technology. Being small and compact it is very easy to carry around or keep in your instrument case.

Cherub Intonation Trainer Review

Cherub Intonation Trainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product comes with the most important accessories (earbud, contact microphone) and has a very easy to understand interface. The functions are all very useful and the built in speaker is loud and very clear (volume adjustable). It has a better built in metronome than I've used on some stand alone metronome units. As for the pitch training function it was intended for, it has positives and negatives...
The pitch recognition and playback does actually work as described most of the time. However, you have to be very close to the pitch for it to play the correct pitch back, which is odd since you can see on screen that it definitely recognizes what note it hears you being closest to. So it doesn't help much more than a standard digital tuner if your intonation is significantly off (as mine sometimes is) and is best suited for fine tuning an already good sense of pitch/finger position. Another problem though is that, at least with the violin, it picks up a lot of overtones and sometimes treats those as the recognized pitch. So for instance you might be playing an open D but the tuner is playing back a high G or A to you. The speed of response in pitch recognition varies a lot. Occasionally it will respond wonderfully quick, giving you a note almost simultaneously with your attack...other times it seems to take a few seconds to respond. I'm not sure what factors are causing this for me, it could be other variables such as ambient noise, etc.
I give this 4 stars instead of 3 for the number of helpful functions this has in one unit. For the price it's actually very handy and a good value for beginner players.

This Device will help your Learn to play in tune! You play a note and you will see if you sharp or flat and when you are in tune it plays the in tune note so you can hear what the corrcet pitch sounds like. This would be very helpful to horn players, string instruments ,woodwinds and any other instrument is hard to play in tune.It's also a great metronome ,tuner and tone genrator. The metronome has real voice counting this a great feature! It's nice to hear one two three four instead of click beep beep beep this feature makes it easier to hear where you are in the measure. Inputs for guitar and an out. Comes with instrument contact pickup and ear phone for quiet practice. Metronome: Voice Count: 1~6 Tempo: 30~230bpm(Tolerance¡Ü0.5%) Beat: 0/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 3/8, 6/8 Tuner: Tuning Key: C Octave Tuning: A0()~a3(1760Hz) A4 Pitch: 435~445Hz

Seiko Tuner SAT-500 Review

Seiko Tuner SAT-500
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am learning to make native style flutes and bought this tuner to help with tuning the flute. I find it very useful and have now made many flutes. The tuning process requires that you drill a small finger hole and then widen it until you get to the note you are looking for. The difficulty of doing this with wood of different thicknesses and densities means you will end up any particular hole a bit flat or sharp in the process of getting all holes playing together. This tuner does a good job of showing just how flat or sharp I am and I can make judgment call based on that. I am very pleased with this tool.

Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner Review

Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very fine tuner that allows you to tune any instrument, electronic or acoustical, "spot on." For the price I really didn't expect such a nice product. However, after reading about two minutes of instruction, I was accurately tuning my mandolin and guitar. It is very intuitive to use, is battery operated which makes it useful for on the road, and has has such practical features as auto turn off after non-use for 20 minutes so you don't kill your batteries should you forget to turn it off.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner

High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg chromatic tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new Korg CA-30 joins the best-selling CA series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and marks for pure major thirds and minor thirds, the CA-30 digital tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

Wide Range of Pitch Detection This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments. This hand held tuner is ideal for tuning even low-register notes containing numerous overtones that are often difficult to tune. A high-sensitivity microphone is built-in to this chromatic tuner, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic instruments such as ukuleles. A separately sold CM-100 contact microphone can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.
Ultra-compact body with a "Tilt Slit" Although the CA-30 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The CA-30 chromatic tuner packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.
High-precision LCD Meter The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.
Sound Out In addition to visual tuning via meter, the Korg CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle through the A4-Bb4 notes, commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Alternatively, you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5 (one octave), allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.
Adjustable Calibration The Calibration function (410-480 Hz) of this chromatic tuner supports a wide range of standard pitches, and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps for accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. Thanks to the Memory Backup function, the Calibration and reference pitch are remembered even when the power is turned off. (However, these settings will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.)
Auto Power Off Function The power will turn off automatically if the unit is left powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.
Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).
Three Year Warranty Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three year warranty.

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner Review

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a newer tuner by Boss with double the accuracy from their old tuners. Boss added more lights to the front panel so it is easier to see how off you are out of tune. The battery is easy to change (no tools needed) and the lights are pretty bright to see in the sun. Of course, the pedal mutes the instrument when it's tapped, so this is great to tune up between songs. I use this for my violin, paired with the Boss EQ pedal, which makes the perfect combo for a musician on stage. Runs on a single 9 volt that lasts many many hours. Just remember to UNPLUG the input 1/4" jack when you're not going to use it for a while, otherwise it will drain the battery

One of the world's top-selling stage tuner, the BOSS TU-2, has evolved and improved into the TU-3 pedal tuner.

The BOSS TU-3 tuner incorporates a convenient Note Name Indicator that can display notes of 7-string guitars and 6-string basses, while the Flat-Tuning mode can support up to six half-steps. It's the kind of instrument pedal tuner that no performing guitarist or bass player should be without.

AKG C411/L Ultra-Light Condenser Microphone for Guitar, Violin, and Other Stringed Instruments Review

AKG C411/L Ultra-Light Condenser Microphone for Guitar, Violin, and Other Stringed Instruments
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
PROS:
1-the flexibility to experiment with placement and tones on the soundboard and bridge.
2-sounds better than most pickups.
3-no need to drill holes in the guitar
4-low cost (also see CONS)
5-sound got even better when I combined the C411 signal with an Audio Technica AT831b clip-on mic pointed at the soundhole. This sound was almost as good as using my AKG C414 in the studio.
6-adhesive sticks really well and doesn't mark up or damage the wood
7-solid/loud output
8-can be used on multiple guitars
9-using two C411s at the same time (placed on different parts of the guitar)would probably sound even better
CONS:
1-doesn't sound better than a high-end condensor mic
2-cost of the mic is low but the AKG cable you need to use the mic cost more than mic.
3-attack is good for fingerstyle/classical/flamenco players but not ideal for really fast pickers (maybe a compressor would remedy this issue)
OVERALL:
worth the money and worth trying out as an alternative to other pickups/transducers for live sound.

I just bought this baby to tune my acoustic guitar and its AMAZING!!! it accurately tuned every string with ease. The red to green back light is bright and clearly tells you when your in tune. This is a must for any acoustic guitarist. Built in mics are inaccurate and are disrupted by ambient noise, and because this tuner goes off vibration you are receiving and accurate reading. Though it can be used with electric guitars I think plugging an electric guitar into your standard chromatic tuner is more accurate.
So if you own an acoustic guitar I highly recommend this product you wont be disappointed.

Cremona SV-1750 Maestro Special Edition Violin, Full-Size Review

Cremona SV-1750 Maestro Special Edition Violin, Full-Size
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this violin four years ago when I first entered high school and I needed something other than the cheap 100 dollar violin that I learned to play on and played for 6 years. I went to several music stores and browsed around, but when I saw this violin I fell in love. The picture does not do the violin justice. It is a gorgeous instrument with delicately inlaid purfling. It is very unique, and I've received a lot of compliments on it. However, of course the look of it is definitely not all you should focus on in terms of a violin. From my experience in these last few years, the Cremona is a huge step up from the sound of my student violin. It has a beautifully deep tone that is perfect for classical music, but is very adaptable. I personally love playing fiddle music with it because the sound is high and bright, and fun. I used the violin to play in my school orchestra, a smaller Chamber Orchestra in the community and in my violin class at a local elementary school. The price tag is hefty (I know) but I've had this violin for nearly five years, and I couldn't be happier with it's sound and look. It's a violin to keep for a lifetime.
Hope I helped,
Gabryel

The metronome function is decent, but could be louder.
The tuner cannot register any notes in the bottom third of my tenor trombone range. Whenever I play a low note, the tuner gets utterly confused and becomes unable to register higher notes as well. Definitely don't buy this tuner if you're a low brass player. Perhaps this tuner was meant for string instruments?
If you're looking for an excellent tuner, I highly recommend the Boss TU-12H.

Just like the other reviewer, mine did nothing either. I went through three new batteries before giving up. Amazon should set up a test dept. to check all new products before allowing their seller to cheat Amazon's loyal shoppers. These units are produced in Korea (I wonder North or South, LOL). It seems a lot of junk from Korea and China is flooding out markets, same thing at ebay, way too much junk.
