Metronome Tuner

I bought this because I wanted a metronome. Yeah, I know all our phones can be an ultra-fancy metronome too, but I find it extraordinarily useful to have a stand-alone metronome so I can do better things with my phone (like record myself or whatever). You might too.Anyhow, it works great as a metronome. A dial would be better than buttons to change the speed (bpm), but the up/down buttons certainly does the job. It has adjustable volume and even a few beat patterns. It has a built-in speaker so you can hear the clocks, or you can have the audio come out the output jack into your headphones. Nice.I didn’t buy it for the tuner capabilities, but it works great as a tuner too. Surprisingly great. I might actually use it as a tuner even though I have a lot of those clip on tuners around the house.This takes AAA batteries, which is nice because they’re very common. And you can turn off the backlight, so hopefully the batteries will last a long time.It has a little stand build-in, which is adequate. I wish it had a little clip so I could attach it to my music stand.In all, considering features, function, build quality, and price, this deserves a full 5 stars.

Tuner is great - I just recently moved and almost everything I own is STILL "in transit" with the movers after TWO WEEKS meaning all I have is what I brought with me in my car. One of those items was my hammered dulcimer. Because it was in my car, I knew it needed a tune up...sadly, my tuner is on that truck. I wanted to play my HD so purchased this tuner and am now tuned up and happy to be playing.

Ok, this is a really great product as a metronome, but if your thinking about purchasing this for a tuner, it might not be a smart choice. After using this to try to tune a violin, a guitar, and a bass it has always tuned them too low and it wont pick up some high and low notes.

I'm a full time music teacher and I upgraded to this tuner to use in my studio because my previous korg tuner did not have a backlight and several students struggled to see it. The tap in function for metronome is IDEAL for teaching as well as learning. I also really like that the backlight has settings for brightness. All around a great tuner. My only complaint is that the line out isn't a quarter inch, but that's pretty negligible.

I got this for my 12 yr old son and just handed it to him. A week later I asked him how it was working out and he excitedly said "it works very well". He was able to figure it out and get it to work without my help and went on to rattle the cool things he can do with it. For me it was just the right value for my money.

I really needed a large easy back lit bench tuner for setups. For the price l am very happy. Has other features but outside of tuning it wouldn't be used for anything else. Hopefully this helps.

So, sometimes the tuner will not show that the note you’re playing is sharp, while it is!!Not so bad if you have a good ear but could pose a problem for beginners!!I would suggest a more expensive tuner!! Well worth ten bucks though!!

This product was packaged well. It arrived safely and ahead of time. I have not tried all the features yet, but what I have used it for is doing as a anticipated.
