Members Opa John Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I still use one of these. I've had it for about four years.....dropped it on a hard floor at least 20 times......very few battery changes.......still in perfect shape and going strong. I like the technology behind the Snark, but I've messed with 'em and they DO seem to be a little fragile looking. Controlled obsolescence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 i have maybe 4 different ones. Friend gave me one, but led isn't bright enough to see on sunny afternoon here in Thailand. Snark is very cool, but doesn't fold up into a bomb proof shape for when you throw it in with the other stuff. I have an Ovation VXT with typical Ovation headstock, and it is a tad dicey finding a place to clip it on.One trick I came up with is to attach it with the readout face behind the headstock, which is also an advantage of the Snark being so adjustable. This puts it in the shade (easier to read) and less likely to get knocked off by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jamesp Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 4th one? how great can they be? I rooted around for one to send you, but I guess I've given them away already. They make great stocking stuffers, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nice keetee Posted December 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thank you for all your comments and advice. I will buy one after Christmas, though I still like tuning forks. Very sturdy, do not break when dropped and require no battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's been mentioned by a few people that tuners are not always accurate - which is true. But it's easy to calibrate them using the concert pitch facility (most clip-ons have this facility - usually a button marked A:440Hz). . . . My Snark is off by maybe 3 cents on a couple of strings relative to my Wittner GT2. Not enough to worry about IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
