Would this tuner work with an acoustic/electric violin? I have had trouble with the built-in one I've been using, it's no good for on stage tuning

Dani, To be truthful, I really cannot answer that question. I can tell you that if you have cord jack on your Violin and you know the key your strings are to tuned in, then I would say Yes. This just a educated guess. Sorry I could not be more specific.

(1.) The pitch black is not an acoustic tuner - meaning, it does not have a mic. You must connect to the Pitch Black via 1/4" cable. (2.) On-Stage effectiveness has a lot to do with how sensitive the violin pickup (Magnetic, Piezo, Mic) is to interference from other instruments playing on stage while you are tuning your violin. I suggest you buy the Pitch Back from somebody with an extended return policy so you can give it a thorough test. Aside from the question of possible interference from other instruments on stage, I expect the Pitch Black will work very well for you.

My understanding is that this device is a chromatic tune... so It should tune any instruments, now it is optimal for an Autoharp? (witch I really don't know what is it???)

i have only used it on my electric guitars to this point however, it seems it should work just fine on all tuners. hope that helps.

Have used it on tenor banjo, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin. It works fine on any stringed instrument. Very accurate and is one of the few tuners that will work well on the low strings.

Theirs no tuner in it. But it's still an electric acoustic. Try the cable on the inside.

Yeah same here. Technically it'll work but your tone will not be good. Don't really recommend it for your acoustic though

Very sorry that I can not help you. I am trying to learn to play the guitar. I have no knowledge of tuners. I saw the Snark advertised in the net and bought It at a venture.

No reason it would not, as long as your violin has a 1/4" output. If you have an acoustic violin, you will need a pickup of some sort such as http://www.amazon.com/Daphon-Clip-On-Headstock-Ukulele-Mandolin/dp/B008HZQ2PM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359240521&sr=8-3&keywords=clip-on+pickup

It works just fine with my tenor ukulele. It's chromatic so it'll give you the note for whatever tuning you want to use. Hope this helps.

Yes it works wonderful for any instrument, just remember you have to have the tone already before you tune. This would be a fine tuner, also while your are playing it help with the beat and also that you are in tune. For instance if you play C on the piano/keyboard, every C will show on your Tuner. I love mine, and use it all the time.

The tuner is chromatic, which means it tunes all notes including sharps and flats, and it is a clip-on that responds to vibrations in the instrument. Any instrument you can clip it to, it will tune. Very low frequencies as in a bass guitar will not register as well, but banjo, ukellele, violin, etc. will tune fine. Even horns and woodwinds should work.

As long as you have the tuner calibration set correctly it should tune any instrument. The calibration default is 440 which is standard for just about all stringed instruments. I use it to tune a banjo at 440 and a bagpipe at 475+ and it works great. It is one of the best tuners that I have ever use and being a chromatic tuner makes it very versatile.

The tuner has a mic input, so u can tune an acoustic instrument. Never tried an acoustic bass, but I would assume it should work.

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

Nothing was done wrong sir. It will still produce sound just not a full crisp, sound that an acoustic violin would make. It's along the same lines as an electric guitar still makings tones without an amp.

Use the pegs at the neck to ball park, and the fine tuners by your bridge to specify your exact notes. The tuning pegs on the headstock are like any other violin. You have to gently push them into the wood to get a tight grip that won't slip. I urge you: be carful, but firm at the same time. Thanks!

That I'm not sure because I Play 6 and 12 string Guitar. I don't see why it wouldn't because I've used Peterson Tuners for over 35 years now. I have a few from over the years that I've used on stage and in the Studio. This clip-on I only used on My Martins while I'm on stage. It is a very good tuner and I don't see why it wouldn't work on any Open Tunings...... ~Pepper~
