How sturdy is the clip? I bought a snark for my acoustic guitars a few years back and the clip lasted for all of two days before it broke.

I really did not like this tuner as a matter of fact it never worked. I did not want to go through the pain of sending it back. All and all it did not worked for me.

I don't play all that much but so far I haven't had any trouble with this tuner.

Oh, I think it's very sturdy. Keep in mind that I'm only an amateur guitarist.

This is the first clip on tuner I have had, but this little guy seems great all the way around. I have used it a dozen times and the clip is strong and sturdy.

I haven't had any problems with mine. Works great and feels sturdy. Sorry to hear yours broke.

Yes. Just don't use it recklessly. The reason i say that is because ive heard these cheap ones can break easy. But so far ive had no problems with it. It has worked fine for the couple months ive been using. But if you want a better that you can be a little reckless with go to a guitar center and get one from there. There about 4 or 5 dollars.

i believe your concern is if the music stand is too thin. It isn't. The way the clips are designed, it actually clenches like claws. it'll even clinch a piece of tissue paper. and just in case anyone wants to know, the range is from 0 to maybe 5/8 inches.

Just a warning, the clip on mine broke after 2 months, and the sax player's did the same thing !!

I've heard that as well. I typically only put it on my guitar while I intend to be playing the guitar. When I'm finished and I hang it up, I take the tuner off just in case. So far, I've had no problems. Also, the part that clips to the guitar has a soft padding, so I don't know why it would take off any finish. It hasn't hurt the finish on my guitar so far. (I have a black gloss colored BC Rich Rave II.)

For a relatively inexpensive instrument it is really quite well made with good intonation and sound. All instruments are fragile to an extent and wood can dry and crack. Even happens to Martin and other higher end instruments that are not stored properly.

The tuner is amazingly precise, but it is you who has to do the tuning. It is as good for electric guitars as it is for acoustic ones. Clip it on the headstock in a way that you can see the display. Always tune the string from a bit lower to higher (i.e. from flat toward sharper), this way, the string will better stay in tune. Also, make sure you hit exactly the 12 o'clock position (the green line) on the snark tuner when tuning a string. Take your time. If it shows some yellow lines right of the 12 o'clock position, you're getting too sharp. If it stays a bit on the left before the 12 o'clock position, you're too flat. If your guitar does not stay in tune, the most likely cause is that your tuning pegs are loose. You may tighten them carefully and slowly (don't overdo it). The pegs should turn easily but with a slight feeling of stickiness. They should definitely not rattle or feel loose. You do this best when restringing your guitar after taking off the old strings.

It's sturdy enough, well built. There is no reason why it shouldn't last, except for a direct stab. Hope this helps

This 'gig bag' is designed for an electric guitar - I would not try to put an acoustic in it - NO protection. I would send it back if I could!

I keep that thing in my trunk and with out its case. It gets banged up pretty bad. The instrument is still holds its tuning. No issue whatsoever with the key action. Its a tank.

I play a dulcimer and a bowed dulcimer. I broke one Snark when I tried to clip it on my lap dulcimer. Not happy with it.

Seagull S6 Original Acoustic GuitarCome on guys--help me out here, pleaseeeeeeee? What is the item number for a hard, durable and well-fitting case for this guitar? I thought somebody would have responded by now. :-(

I have two different skb cases. One with & 1 without lock. The one with lock appears to be & if I recall the one guaranteed to be able to go in cargo. I've never the opportunity to travel with this case, but I think it's sturdy enough to handle it. The big concern are the cargo inspectors who may open your case & handle your guitar. Do you allow strangers who do not appreciate your guitar to handle it. The case is fine, it will handle it. You might be better off paying ups the $25 cargo to ship it. Check it out.

I have never had a clip break off unless one of the grandkids was trying to get it loose from the elastic strap on myKindle cover. They have a habit of pulling outward instead of straight up. So if you don't have little kids messing with them you should be fine!

I haven't Josh. I don't use it, it's in a drawer somewhere. It seems to be and audio pickup (microphone) and I had way to much trouble with feedback. I bought it for a ukulele, but the speakers would cause the ukes sound box to hum and the feedback was to hard to control. I had more luck with it mounted on the headstock, above the tuners and aimed back down the strings. -Mike
