Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This tuner goes back for a reason I could not have anticipated. In fact, it was the opposite of what I expected.
I keep my tuners on the headstock of my guitars while I play them. I fold them down, but rarely remove them, especially if they fit in the case without being removed. That's part of their attraction and convenience.
From the pictures, I was expecting something small and unobtrusive. However, it is large and massive. It goes back because when I'm playing my (acoustic) guitar, the sheer mass of the thing has it vibrating and making noise on its own. I tried different placements on the headstock, but it kept on vibrating as I played. For the record, the Seiko STX tuner weighs in at 47g compared to 34g for the Zoid Z-1000 Clip-On Tuner by Sabine and 33g for the Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner for Strings.
I suspect this is as pure a case of YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) as you'll find. It wouldn't surprise me if the STX tuner didn't vibrate the same way on other instruments, but there you have it.
Also for the record, there was no problem tuning with it despite its using bars rather than a representation of an analog meter. As I mentioned in another review, I believe clip-on tuners have become a commodity with each model equally capable of getting an instrument in tune.
