Not better than previous tuners from Snark Maybe I got a bad one, but the 1st, E string (the high one), on both of my guitars shows up as A in this tuner, unless I put my hand on all of the remaining 5 strings; and, then, it usually shows an E, but not right away. This quirk just doesn’t give me a “warm fuzzy” so I’ve reverted using the built-in tuner on my acoustic. (Honestly, this is not a step up from my old SN-1, which still works fine, though it lost one of the rubber pads.)
Simply, Easy, Perfect. I played the violin for years as a child but was never taught to tune it. This product is so simple to use and I get a perfect tune every time. My 9 year old is learning right now how to keep her violin in tune and sounding amazing independently. Very happy with the simplicity and ease of use.
It’s worth the few extra bucks for this new version I had an older version that I lost and needed to replace. It worked perfectly fine so I considered buying the sameone which is currently about $4 less, but I decided to just go for the new one. It is noticeably faster to start up and to respond to the guitar. The display is noticeably better. Brighter, more solid looking. And I like the glossy finish and how the button feels. While these are relatively small details, it’s worth having considering how essential this device is and how often it is used by avid musicians. I thought the inprovements might barely be noticeably better but the difference is significant.
