Feature:
This little turner really works well. This little tuner didn’t include any bells or whistles but it is a great tuner. The best feature is you can use it to tune both guitar and bass, and that there’s not a lot of buttons or anything to get confused with.

This way is much better than the tuning fork and you only have to tune each string one time! The tuner automatically selects the correct string note after you pluck the string. The analog needle (actually a digital representation) is fairly steady when tuning and it is easy to make string adjustments until the greed led becomes lit. That is all there is to it. Check for more features!

Quality:
The tuner can “listen” to the string when you pluck it, telling you via a set of lights and a LCD meter how “in-tune” the string is. You can also have it issue a specific sound for the string you want to tune and then match your sound to the tuner’s. This tuner is of the highest quality as far as you concerned. The mike worked really well for an acoustic guitar and electric guitar. Very user friendly and intuitive comes with batteries. The bad is that when open to change batteries, exposes entire circuitry.

Sound:
Sound as in helping you get your guitar into tune, works very well. Makes getting into tune a lot less timely.

Value:
It’s really cheap (in money terms not quality) and. It has no frills or anything, only 15 buck. Check latest price!

Agreat product at a rock bottom price this is the best value when it comes to tuners. It’s small, accurate when tuning, and affordable.

Ease of Use:
There is nothing to do but turn this tuner on and start tuning your instrument. Very easy even for idiots. Tuner is easy. Pop in the batteries turn it on and start hitting strings and it’ll send the digital needle to where you are as opposed to the middle where you should be. The more you tune the closer the precise needle gets to the green light. It’s that easy, once you’re done you’ll be in perfect tune. It identifies each string with its number and letter i.e. E6 A5 etc.

Desirability:
Good design, clean. It is just a practical addition to setup. You gotta have a tuner. It is compact and trim, it’s got a solid feel, and great look.

Overall:
Just easy to please or this is a very good little tuner. This thing is so easy to use. It’s very accurate also. Plus this is the cheapest one I’ve found after looking for one for so long. And it got here fast too.

Qwik Tune QT1 Guitar and Bass Tuner

Qwik Tune QT1 Guitar and Bass TunerFor acoustic, electric, or bass guitar.

This auto tuner is designed for use with any acoustic, electric, or bass guitar and features auto note selection, in/out jacks, meter, and LED lights.

Feature:
Pretty basic. Has input and output jacks which is nice for tuning an electric guitar. Auto and manual modes. Switches off after ten seconds of non use which saves battery power. Check Price.

Quality:
Only replaced the battery twice in that time.

Buggy as heck. I’ve seen a few of these things and all they are lousy as attenuating frequencies. The meaning you’re playing a low E that is just a tad flat but it the goes from reading D# to F. Aggravating. It’s share of use, though not for the last five or so. It’s now going belly up, hardly usable, mostly broke. It never took a fall. The Korg took many falls, on the other hand, and spent a winter lost underneath a six inch layer of snow. IT STILL WORKS!

Sound:
It is the quietest tuner.

Ease of Use:
Very straightforward. Automatic mode allows you to tune any string. In manual mode you simply select the string you wish to tune. Displays if the string is in tune or if its under or over the correct frequency using an LCD needle.

Very hard of hearing about reading the frequency of a note

Value:
Perhaps not as feature packed as other models, but for a simple and easy to use tuner may this one is value for money. Check latest price.

Desirability:
Pocket size, you can take it anywhere. Light Weight. Like that can leave it inline between on guitar and amplifier so you can check your guitar between songs. this is worth the price that it’s going for because they last and they are easy to read.

Overall:
This product was the worst tune. The tuning needle jumps all over the place and ends up making your guitar out of tune rather than tuning. The manual setting doesn’t even register half the strings and the auto tuner won’t tell you what string you just strummed or the string it is sounding like. But all it is depend on you.

Qwik Tune QT11 Guitar Tuner

Qwik Tune QT11 Guitar TunerThe QT11 from Qwik Tune has all the basic essentials you need in a portable guitar or bass tuner. The “electric pitchpipe” plays the note for you, or you can tune each individual string, while the display tells you which string you are tuning and whether you are flat or sharp. The built-in mic is highly sensitive, and the speedy metering will get you tuned quickly and easily. Batteries included. Check price.

Feature:
The product came with batteries which was nice. The most useful feature is the ability to plug an electric guitar directly into it which by-passes the built in mic allowing tuning to be performed even in the most noising environments, and you don’t need an amp or any other power source to do this.

The built in Mic is also very handy for acoustic guitars. The least useful feature of the QT-11 I found was the electronic pitch pipe. It sounded too electronic. This tuner tunes your guitar to standard tuning and nothing else. If you want to tune to anything other than that, good luck. It only works for EADBGE tuning. Still could for a lower B string on a 7 string guitar, though. The electronic pitch pipe is somewhat useful.

Quality:
Good hard quality to break. The QT-11 appears to be well made. With its small light compact size it rates the QT-11 suitable for on the road use. The only possible problem what see with the QT-11 is that it does not have a light so it could be used in low light conditions.

Sound:
Have lead to connect to the box of an acoustic guitar. The automatic pitch pipe doesn’t sound like it is real.

This product would be much better if it had an actual recording of each string being played, and an ear phone jack so you could have the option of using a nice pair of head phones to better hear the tone.

Ease of Use:
Sometimes it mistakes a string for another string, even when its well tuned, but its not too bad.

Tuning the top 3 strings is easy as pie, but when you get into the higher pitched strings it can get very aggravating, as the tuner will switch from low E, to G, to B, very quickly so it becomes hard to tune. But if you have a couple of free minutes to work with it, you still get all the strings in tune perfectly.

Value:
This tuner is pretty inexpensive. Other tuners tend to go for a bit higher prices.

Desirability:
The QT-11’s small compact size, price, and features make it one of those must have things.
Should be full black and yellow it would look better than silver. Very cheap, simple, accurate. Check latest price.

Overall:
Good for beginners and students who will use the tuner is a quite setting. Not a tuner for gigs, or ‘open mic night’. overall its an easy simple tuner.

Its ease of use is what sold it for me over other products. Other features would be nice, but for what you get for the price, it is a good value. The thing like most is its ability to plug directly into an electric guitar without needing anything else. May it is needs a better sounding pitch pipe, and a light.
