Snark ST-2 Multi-Instrument Chromatic Tuner

I have used Snark tuners for years and because of their affordability I had no problem lending/giving the one on my guitar to another musician who needed one. If you have never used this type of tuner, it allows you to tune in noisy environments by reading the vibrations from the headstock of the guitar. The ST-2 is a nicer version (a couple steps up from the base model) and is quicker to tune, can be set for different tunings, can be set to work with its' built-in mike or (better) from the vibrations of the instrument. Because of the nature of its' clamp, this chromatic tuner can be placed on the tubing of brass instruments, the headstock on a guitar/stringed instrument, or the bell of a woodwind instrument. It can also be set to work with its built-in microphone and attached to your music stand (perhaps for use by a vocalist). The neck/display is adjustable for almost any angle and the display is large and easy to read. The ST-2 also has an automatic shut-off feature that turns the unit off after 10 minutes to conserve batteries. My other unit doesn't have the shut-off, alternative tunings, or the microphone feature. The shut-off would have helped me since I sometimes leave it on and find it dead the next day. Comparatively, I also use the D'Addario which is quick to tune, super low profile, and has a button to adjust the orientation of the screen's readout. This allows the tuner to be placed almost anywhere on a headstock, even between tuning pegs. It only works on guitars. If you are a serious musician or just really enthusiastic this is a great piece of equipment for you and will help your music.

I got this for my partner, who I just got a bass for his birthday. The tuner it came with sucked, and wanting nothing but the best for them, I got this in hopes it would be as good as others said it was. Thank God it was! The battery came fully charged, and we haven't even had to charge it since their birthday two weeks ago. It's pretty easy to use, the screen is pretty readable with how bright it lights up, and it's overall a really nice quality! It's slightly bigger than I expected, but looking at other tuners it now seems like a perfect size. It functions perfectly, and it reads true! My partner has been using it almost daily, and they love it so far. 10/10 would recommend :)

An instrument that looks good is only part of the equation, it has to sound good too. This product insures that for you with easy to read dial and clear indication when you’re in tune. Priced well and arrived early made with quality. Being rechargeable was a pleasant surprise, the item is a must if you’re going to play strings! Thank you

I’ve been using these tuners for years. They simply clip on the head stock and work accurately with both acoustic and electric guitars. I now have one for each of mine.

Very nice! Fast to turn on and off, looks great with a red guitar, and has a wide pitch calibration range. I needed to tune my guitar to 426Hz and my previous tuner only went down to 430Hz. How else are you going to play Pantera and Megadeth except for online tuners and a microphone? The only downside is that sometimes it takes longer to adjust to a note (like seconds) and I think that's because it's chromatic. It functions well, is easy to use, and it's a perfect size to fit on your headstock. It has like a matte red finish that looks good, too. Overall, happy with my purchase! *Update (8/29/25): 1 month until recharge with daily practice/tuning. Very happy.

I have used Snark tuners for many years. I keep this in my guitar case and use it regularly. I find the tuning is really tight, which creates the best sound. Would recommend.

Still works to this day. Comes with a charger and easy to work !

good unit rechargable
