Plus, the swivel allows a perfect view of the backlit display. The best part is that this quality tuner costs a fraction of what other similar tuners cost./ppbTune Like a Pro/bbr / Whether you are in a nosy environment or a quiet one, the Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner is the right tuner for your musical instrument. This tuner clips onto your instrument headstock and allows you to tune it using the vibrations of your strings. This wireless device is indispensible when you are on the road and warming up in a noisy venue. More sensitive than its predecessors, the IMT500 accurately senses even the vibrations of bass notes on dreadnought sized guitars./ppbEasy to Use and Read/bbr /table cellspacing="10" align="left"trtddiv align="center"img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/IMT500a.jpg"brsmallibPlace anywhere on the headstock./i/b/small/td/tr/div/table Small enough to stick in a pocket, the body of the tuner is about 2.25 inches diagonally. The meter screen itself is square at about 1.25 inches diagonally. The scale is easy to read, and is typical for many electronic tuners and easily understood. It has a calibration feature, which takes it from a 430 to a 449-A reference. It also has a flatting feature for use in tuning with a capo. It doesn't matter where you put the IMT500 on the headstock--just clip it on and pluck a string since it already knows which string you are tuning. The jaws of the clip have soft rubber pads to protect the finish of your instrument./ppbVibrations Are the Key/bbr / Older clip-on tuners used to have sensitive microphones. Not the IMT500. Unlike tuners that use a built in microphone, the IMT500 doesn’t have any problems with interference from ambient noise. This tuner uses nothing but the vibrations of the plucked string. Everything else is automatic. The vibrations themselves tell the IMT500 what string is being tuned and if it is flat, sharp, or just right. The calibrate button to the right of the display screen is used to tune an instrument to a pitch other than 440 Hz. (440 Hz is the default pitch, which equals C with no flat.)/ppbSaves Time and Money/bbr / You'll see Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner at festivals, indie concerts and jam sessions because they are worth their price and more. Less than half the cost of their predecessors, the IMT500 works a whole lot better. The price allows the serious musician to get two--one for practice, and one for the instrument case. Never forget to pack your tuner again./p

Nice Tuner When it Works (2010-07-24) : 2/5
As received the tuner worked only intermittently. After 2 weeks it ceased to function. The display came on but it would not pick up the instrument. I expect it was a manufacturing defect. Returned to Amazon with no problems. br /br /When it worked, it worked exceptionally well. Tuner was spot on for the banjo on all 5 strings and easy to read. Never tried on the guitar until it became non-functional. So I will probably buy another given the low price. Since there are other reviews reporting similar issues, you take your chances buying this. So long as Amazon maintains their trouble free return policy, there should be no worries if you are willing to be patient.br /br /
Good product but is not what I thought (2010-07-24) : 3/5
Good product but is not what I thoughtbr /Is a little slow and not good enough for low registers in a guitar for example Low E(6) string or A (5th), is even harder to if you want to tune a acoustic bass. But is great with upper registers if you try one octave up of the string you want to tune, in the guitar for example works better(tunning E or A). By the other hand is great tuner for charangos, mandolins, or Ukes.br /Thanks
Great. (2010-07-13) : 4/5
I know some people gave this gadget mixed reviews but here's what I have to say, Smart slick easy to use can tune your guitar in 5 minutes easy. Would recommend to others.br /br /8 months guitar experience.
Great Clip-on Tuner (2010-07-11) : 4/5
Works well...easy to see and can be used even if music or other noises are going on. Most clip-ons use a microphone and can be almost useless in a loud enviornment...this tuner does a much better job in loud surroundings. And just for the record, the price was fantastic. It was about the same price as a set of really good stings...and it will last a lot longer.
This is a great little tuner! (2010-07-09) : 4/5
This is a great little tuner for the money. My only complaint is that I can hear it buzzing what I play certain notes. Other than that, it's perfect!
