Product Information

Snark makes brilliant tuners; out of all the tuners I have tried from various companies, either making good attempts or phoning it in for extra accessories to sell. Snark care about their tuners; everything from the build quality to the screen brightness and accuracy are considered. Something that I find unique about Snarks tuners is the response speed of the tuner; it gets straight to the point in a clear-to-read way. Some tuners by other companies often take a while to wake up, remember their purpose on earth and then deliver the goods…that's if they don't suddenly fade away because the battery has run out. Snark has thought of it all!Different models have slightly different LED displays, but they all look pretty cool and show the pitch very well. They have a very wide range of different tuners, including clip-ons, console tuners, and even pedal tuners. I have a love-hate relationship with clip-on tuners; they are brilliant to slip into your gig bag and have on hand for tuning. But often, they can get lost, or the battery dies at the wrong moment, and you need to find them, usually at great expense, which is also bad for the planet. Sometimes clip-on tuners can be inconsistent in terms of accuracy and interference from outside sounds. However, in this review, we're going to be taking a look at a unique clip-on tuner which seeks to break all illusions and misconceptions around the clip-on tuners. Let's take a look at Snark's new 'Air' tuner.

Snark tuners seem to have a reputation of being slightly inaccurate. If you’re a professional, you might want to go for a different tuner that’s extremely precise.

That said, sometimes the accuracy is not a fault of the tuner, but instead something simple that can be easily fixed. What Can Affect The Accuracy of a Tuner? The new SNARK AIR® rechargeable clip-on tuner includes USB charging cable. Tunes electric, bass and acoustic guitars, ukuleles, banjos and more, lasting for weeks to months of regular use on one charge. But for amateurs, intermediates, and even advanced guitarists who don’t need absolute precision, the Snark will be as accurate as you need. If you do need something more precise (like you would for a fretless guitar) and would like a Snark, the ST-8HZ is said to be accurate to within 1/10th of 1 Hz.
