    Great Tuner - but only with my mod
    This is a great tuner. Easy to read and easy to get my guitar in tune. HOWEVER, the whole clip is made of metal. And not even finished metal. There is a smal bit of rubber where the clip clips on to your guitar.I have expensive guitars and I like to keep them perfect with no scratches, Everytime I put this tuner on a guitar, I cringe and curse the designer. What was he thinking to use exposed sheet metal on a tool that was going to live on a $5000 instrument??But don't fret - I have the perfect solution. Snark makes just OK tuners but they have a great clip design. So I took off the TC clip and used double back tape to tape the TC tuner to the Snark body. Looks hokey, but works great now!

    5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite clip-on guitar tuner!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015
    I have tried a variety of guitar tuners from plug-in tuners, stomp-box-style tuners and, especially for acoustic guitars, clip-on tuners. The PolyTune Clip, by TC Electronics is the newest one to grace my collection, and, so far, it is the best I've seen.

    The tuner is a lot smaller than most pictures would have you believe. The clip is mostly metal, compared to plastic in most competitors. Accuracy seems very good - I don't have the capacity to test the accuracy scientifically, but it sounds good to my ear (I've played guitar for over 40 years) and compares favorably with the other tuners I referenced it against - namely a Boss TU-3 and a PolyTune Mini, as well as other clip on tuners (see below).

    I have heard some complaints that the adjustability is only on one plane, so you can't place the tuner "just so", but in practice, I haven't had a problem putting it where it is highly visible on a variety of guitar head stocks, both 6 on a side (Fender style) or 3x3 (Gibson/Guild, etc.). When you “flip” the tuner to attach it “upside down”, the display automatically adjusts.

    So, let's compare to some of the competitors that reside in my music room.

    A lot of my friends love the Snark tuners - I own a few, myself. They are cheaper - a lot cheaper, and work pretty well. However, I have seen too many break at the clip for me to spend more money on them. [[ASIN:B003VWJ2K8 Snark SN-1 Tuner]]

    D'Addario NS Micro-clip tuners. Hard to position just right and the display is too small to really tune easily. [[ASIN:B005FKF1PY D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner]] They make a different model that has a more flexible clamp system - making it easier to find the right spot, but the too-small display plagues this one as well. [[ASIN:B00L1LLJUW D'Addario NS Micro Universal Tuner]]

    Up until now my favorite clip-on tuner is the Intellitouch PT-10. [[ASIN:B002KDHBRU Intellitouch PT10 Mini Clip-On Tuner]] - Easy to use, and a display that is easy to "dial-in". While I still like this model, and will use them when the occasion warrants it, it is a slight step below the PolyTune clip.

    What I liked about the PolyTune Clip:
    * Style - the multiple LED lights are easy to read and make it easy to dial in the proper pitch. When the string is out of tune you see red lights and green when it is in tune. The multiple LEDs make it easy to see just how far out of tune you are.
    * The ability to check all strings at once (the "PolyTune" feature is unique to TC Electronics).
    * Multiple tunings available (and tuning for Bass guitar)
    * Ease of use.
    * Quality - I have never bought a TC Electronics product (And I have a lot of their products) that wasn't really well built.

    What I didn't like:
    * Price - at around $49 street price, they are more money than some, but they are a lot better built. I got this one through Amazon Vine to evaluate, but I also bought another one because I like them a lot!

    * The cheap, flimsy instruction sheet written in extremely small type that was hard to read. You'd think for $50 that they'd give you a copy of the manual (which is very well written and easy to follow). You can download the owner's manual from the TC Electronics website.

    Clip-on tuners are easy to use, especially in a live setting. Even the fact that you can almost maintain eye contact with your audience while tuning, rather than looking down at a floor mounted tuner adds professionalism to your performance. The TC Electronics PolyTune Clip is the best clip on tuner I’ve had the pleasure of working with to date.
