The Snark ST-2 is a clip-on chromatic tuner that's designed for acoustic instruments, primary of which is the acoustic guitar. Has a built-in microphone - can be used with non-stringed instruments.The Snark SN5X is a good clip-on tuner to pick if your using both guitars and violin. One thing to watch out for with Snark clip-ons is the joint for the swivel mounted display isn't the strongest so I suggest taking care with handling - especially when clipping it on to your headstock. It also comes with a tap tempo metronome that utilizes visual cues via its built-in display, instead of ticking sounds. It carries features that are similar to the SN-1X, allowing it to work as a chromatic tuner for stringed instruments. This means that multi-instrumentalists will only need one tuner for guitars, bass guitars, and violin.

It doesn't have special modes for alternate tunings such as DADGAD but you can tune to those in chromatic mode.Īlthough I haven't experienced this problem myself, I've seen reports from some people who have been using it for more than a year saying that the plastic case becomes sticky to touch after that length of time. It also includes a tap tempo metronome that gives you visual cues of the beat. This version of the Snark also works as a chromatic tuner and allows flat tuning, and works with a capo. As such, it is slightly more affordable, while offering the same functionalities that you need to get your guitar in tune. The Snark SN-1X is a stripped down version of the Snark ST-2, without the built-in mic for use with other instruments.
