Cherub Clip-On Ukulele Tuner

I'm fairly new to playing the ukulele so I wanted an easy to use tuner. Some tuners just display the note that you are playing, which is alright, if you know which octave you want to tune to and which string should be which! This tuner however knows which string you're playing and then indicates whether the string is too tense with a + sign and a number indicating how much by, and a - with a number if its too loose. It indicates this by using a light to show which string you're playing, and then another to show how in-tune it is. When the light turns green then you're all set.A few notes: Sometimes it will light up green, then flicker to red as the string you played quietened down. That doesn't mean you're slightly out of tune, it just means that as the vibrations got weaker the tuner was listening to re-verb (sorta like an echo) rather than the actual sound the string made when you played it, so don't worry. It is very sensitive. Also, if your string is wildly out of tune then even if you are playing the 4th string it'll "recognise" it as the 3rd. Just keep messing with your tuning pegs until it begins to get close to how it should sound, and then it'll start recognising it as the 4th string so you can tune it.And remember folks: it's better to tune UP to the note, than to tune down. So get it so that you are in the - below the green light, then tune up.

I'm probably pretty much tone deaf but felt it was time I learned to play an instrument so ordered a ukelele and, totally essential, a tuner.The uke arrived before the tuner so I spent my first day perusing internet sites explaining how to do this and playing correctly tuned strings to demonstrate what they should sound like. Try as I might, I couldn't match them and when I thought each string was 'nearly there', it still didn't sound right. Thankfully, the tuner arrived and my sanity was restored.On clipping it on, at first it didn't recognise any string which confirms that I am not one of those musically-gifted people able to tune by ear and match pitches or tones played on a website. So, I simply tightened the strings to what seemed like a reasonable tension and, lo and behold, the Cherub tuner now recognised them and identified them. Illuminated LEDs showed whether I needed to tighten or loosen the strings until a green LED showed, at which point it was magically in tune.So, having spent 3 days frustratedly struggling with internet sites and pitch pipes, this little gadget guided me through the tuning process from scratch in under 10 minutes. Now, because it's used daily and the uke is almost in tune each time I use it, the process takes less than 2 minutes. It really couldn't be easier. It's a wonderful little gadget and I'd still be floundering and playing a painfully out of tune ukelele if I didn't have it.So, if you're a beginner like me and don't have a particularly musical ear - buy it. You won't regret it and it will save a lot of time and even more frustration!!

This a great little tuner and does the job perfectly. You simply clip it to the top, turn it on, and pluck each string one by one. It lights up to show whether the note is in tune or not. Very simple and intuitive to use, and is switchable between the two different types of tuning (GCEA or ADFB). It works for Soprano, Concert, or Tenor ukes.The only drawback is that if you have switched your high G for a low G, you can't use the tuner for that string. What I do is put my finger on the fifth fret, fooling the tuner into thinking it's the C string. But this isn't as accurate so if you intend to use a low G string then I would suggest a general chromatic tuner instead.

This is a great tuner - cheap, easy to use, worked great on both my tenor and reso ukes. Unfortunately it has simply stopped working. I've had it for about a year and now, despite careful handling, it is completely defunct- the light comes on but it just doesn't do anything. In conclusion, it is cheap thing to kick-start your playing but don't expect it to last your entire ukulele career.

This is a great tuner, simple to use and you can conveniently attach it to the end of your ukulele. Once you figure out how it works it is really simple. The only reason I have taken one star off is that I had no idea how to use it initially, I never played a string instrument before and am a complete beginner in music...and the tuner came with no instructions whatsoever. I was lucky to find a youtube video with someone explaining how it worked, and I found an online manual for the tuner, but that wasn't very helpful. So one thing that would add to this product would be some clear and simple instructions either online or on paper coming from the manufacturer. Maybe they just forgot to enclose one with my tuner, but highly recommended other than the lack of instuctions 😊

When it comes to the ukulele, I'm a complete and utter newbie. I tried online tuning sites, none of which I found to be particularly easy to use, and my enthusiasm for my new instrument was dampened by my inability to tune it properly. So, I decided to take the plunge and buy an electronic tuner. Initially, I was skeptical - although other reviews stated the contrary, I was worried that this would be a complex gadget that would take some getting used to.Nothing could be further from the truth; this tuner has all of the accuracy and sensitivity that one would hope for, and yet it's simply a case of clipping it on to the ukulele and switching it on. You can choose between standard tuning (C) and what I will refer to as the other option, which is a little beyond my ken, so I'm presuming it'd be just as useful for more experienced players.The relevant strings numbered, the LED display is simple to understand, and within 5 minutes I managed to successfully tune my ukulele for the first time. This is a purchase I am glad to have made.
