  • CR2032 battery
  • Product Description

    Enjoy effortless and inconspicuous tuning in the studio or on stage with the D’Addario Accessories (formerly Planet Waves) NS Micro Clip-On Tuner for acoustic and electric guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos and other stringed instruments. The lightweight, discrete, highly compact tuner hides behind the headstock practically blending into the instrument and is small enough to be kept on your instrument while stored in its case. At 1.25”, your audience will never know it’s there and with the convenient two-pack, you don’t have to choose which instrument to keep it on. The NS Micro features an extremely accurate piezo transducer that picks up an instrument’s vibration rather than sound.

    The easy-to-read, tri-color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. This allows you to accurately tune with a quick glance at the display - even on dark stages or in direct sunlight. Powered by a readily available (and included) CR2032 battery, you will enjoy maximum battery life thanks to its auto-off function that shuts the tuner off after several minutes of no signal. Featuring a 360-degree swivel mechanism and adjustable padded clamp, the NS Mini offers optimal viewing angles and maximum positioning flexibility. Equally effective on left and right-handed instruments as well as on small and large headstocks, it is the ideal choice for the widest variety of players and string instruments.

    For over 20 years, D’Addario has been leading the industry in innovative and problem-solving products that serve musicians worldwide. D’Addario Accessories are proudly made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.

    Over the years, I have accumulated and gone through dozens of tuners, and I also have the more elaborate strobe tuner. But I have one of these micro headstock tuners on each of my guitars, because they have all the right features for convenience: Accurate enough; small and unobtrusive; bright LCD display; display rotates to any orientation; fits every headstock both on front or back; batteries last a decent time' no cantilevered arms to break off;... no significant flaws that I can think of.

    Clip it on. Leave it on. Put one on every instrument. Never be out of tune. These are very low profile, and the screen rotates so you can see the display right side up no matter where you clip it... like the back side of the head stock so it's not even visible while you are playing.

    Size: Single PackStyle: UniversalVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase
    Though I received this for free to review, I have purchased 14(!) of the same model with a different clip ( D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner .) Obviously, I really like this tuner. I used Snarks for years until I found this one and here's why I switched allegiance:

    -The D'Addario is faster and seems slightly more accurate
    -It's low-profile and discreet
    -It doesn't have a Sesame Street color scheme on the display

    When I got my first D'Addario tuner and put both it and my Snark on my guitar and compared them. The D'Addario caught the vibration of the string faster and held it better with less fluctuation. The several Snarks that I had always seemed to bounce around a lot when they were trying to "hear" the note. Once the string was properly tuned, both tuners showed similar readings, though the Snark was always a little flat, but that can be fixed with calibration. (I knew it was the Snark that was flat rather than the D'Addario reading sharp because I tested them both against my Peterson Strobe Tuner app. The D'Addario and the Strobe Tuner were pretty close - though the Strobe has a much finer level of detail.)

    Aside from that, everything else that separates the Snark and the D'Addario is just personal taste. I wear glasses (+1.75) to read and I find the D'Addario plenty big enough to read. The Snark screen is HUGE comparatively and it uses bright primary colors (red, yellow, and green) to help you zero in on the tuning. This is a great way to help engage a child in the process of tuning, but as an adult I find it a little remedial. The D'Addario also uses red, yellow and green as an aid, but the colors are muted so they are helpful without looking like something on a children's toy.

    Instead of a large, animated "speedometer" effect like the Snark, the D'Addario uses small lines on either side of the note. The more lines on the left, the more flat the note is. The more lines on the right, the more sharp it is. When the string is in tune there should be a single line on either side of the letter. It's the same concept as the Snark, but it's more subtle... once again, the D'Addario seems as though it's designed for adults rather than kids.

    The D'Addario model that I have been using has a small, locking clip that keeps the tuner against the headstock. It's super low-profile so no one knows it's there except me. The only problem with that model is that it's designed to stay on one instrument. When I'm playing with other people and someone needs a tuner it's kind of awkward to get off and on. And since it has a sliding lock rather than a spring-mount, if you don't cinch it down tightly it will fall off. It's not particularly heavy-duty so it can break if it falls. This spring lock on this model is far more secure and it's almost as discreet. The goose-neck on this tuner allows you to pop it up like a periscope when you are using it and tuck it flat when it's not in use. And because you can flip the display 180 degrees you can mount it either in front or behind the headstock and it's never upside-down. This is a great feature.

    Obviously, I really like these D'Addario tuners. The reason that I've purchased so many of them is because I keep one on each of my instruments and, also, I keep giving them away to people in my ukulele class. One broke when I dropped it - that sucked. When I perform I still use the model with the lower-profile clip, but I've put this spring-loaded clip version on the uke I take to class so I can take it off and pass it around more easily if I need to.

    This is probably much more than needs to be written about a tuner, but I really like it and people are always asking me about (because it looks so different than the Snark) and so I find myself talking about it's features a lot. I write reviews as a hobby for fun and it always makes my day when I find out that my reviews have helped someone, so leave a comment if you'd like, feel free to ask a question, or just say "Hi."

    I love this thing but there's one very big issue for me: it's impossible to see in outdoor/bright-light situations, and there doesn't appear to be a way to adjust brightness. I had a recent outdoor gig and I had to use my phone because the screen was virtually invisible, even in the shade, even with my hand shading it. My mandolin player had the same issue and I had the headstock-clip version on another guitar and it was unreadable as well.

    If you're always playing in low-light conditions, well, okay, but most of us will find ourselves in outdoor settings and cursing this thing.

    These are small and don't show much. They clip on to the backsides of the headstocks of my five-string banjo, acoustic guitar, telecaster guitar, and electric bass. The only thing that shows from the front is a tiny amount of the black plastic clip.

    No need to plug in your electric instrument to tune up because these use the vibrations in the neck and headstock.

    Great value for the money. The display can be turned mechanically all kinds of ways and then rotated electronically to read however you like it. Highly recommended.

    I'm not new to tuners and worked in music for over 50 years.
    All these clip on mini tuners are relatively new to the music world.
    Many ppl criticize them but most often it's the user not the equipment.
    I have literally worn out two of the most common brand but to no fault of the company.
    Simply wore them out even with careful use.
    I was looking for a tuner with a longer reach to clear away from very large bass machine heads.
    But, also to be able to articulate a perfect sightline and be hidden behind the headstocks.
    This model is the best I have used or seen to date, You can rotate both the top and bottom base or
    platen 360 degrees. The arm length is perfect. Ned Steinberger as a designer and D'Add as a company hit the mark on this tiny unit. It's well worth the little extra money to have one.
    Super accurate and ballistically fast. Not just in reading transitions in the cycles but on startup and shutdown. I am not exaggerating when I say this is one very cool tool.
    Super bright and legible .
    But, the really unique and practical function is you can reorient the screen to which ever direction to want .
    Place the screen vertical or horizontal and you can bounce the graphics around to suit.
    It's a total winner !

    Great tuner (This is my second one. I previously bought the identical but clip-on model - also very nice.)

    Guitar necks are made of hard wood - really hard. I drilled out the hole I needed but perhaps the bit could have been too thin. It seems that the screws that came with the tuner were too long and far too soft.

    The tuner is now in place and working well but it doesn't look nice - will buy a better screw and try again later.

    Very satisfied with the tuner, surprised at how hard the wood of the neck turned out to be.
