Clip on tuner bargain heads up - £2!

[ivansc]

(cue fireworks and popping champagne cork smiley) Yes folks, arrived this morning.
Tested on my 5 string banjo and it works.

So I suppose it really IS worth £2......

Still waiting for mine, although I got an email from Reverb yesterday saying they hoped I was enjoying it and to remind me to leave feedback!

I gave in and finally looked at the tracking info - apparently it left the main UK distribution centre yesterday and is on its way......

Yarp. And the swivel mechanism is cack, but it does work OK so I can't really grumble for £2.

am I being really thick here but what do the small letters mean under the string note, C, G, B, V, and U that appear when you press the on off button and numbers appear next to the string note when G B V U are selected?

Cello, Guitar, Bass, Violin and Ukulele? I think the number relates to which string is being tuned.

[/quote]right, seems to make sense, the numbers don't appear on the C (cello) setting though, I was tuning my guitar last night before an open mic didn't notice I was on V setting it tuned all the strings apart from the B string very confusing at the time, the C G work ok, something to be aware of though

I think C is actually "chromatic". At least I assumed so as with the "bass" setting mine only shows the notes EADG and if you're sharp or flat, whilst in "C" it shows the closest note.

You're probably right- another one here who didn't read the manual...

Mine was waiting for me when I got home last night. Interesting about the comments above - I was wondering why mine wasn't tuning to the B string at all. Will try it in "C" mode tonight!

[/quote]there's no mention of it in the 'manual' not in my single scrap of paper anyway.
Chromatic, of course

Reverb.com all sold out now

and to cure the non-reading ting on the E string, just tune to the 12th fret harmonic

UPDATE: Mine has been clipped to the head of my banjo for a couple of weeks now and hasnt broken, still turns on and off and appears to be fairly accurate!
For £2 I am not going to complain!

[casapete]

Mine arrived eventually, and is doing fine, so far!
Got it on my Precision Lyte , works fine. Deal!
