## Description

This compact headstock tuner features an accurate piezo transducer, wide calibration range, and backlit display for precise tuning that complements your instrument.

Review: An excellent mini tuner that really does the job. - Excellent quality and has a good display that you can actually read outside in the sun. I love how the display can be reversed or inverted to fit in any direction. Easy to use and give an accurate reading. Discrete in use and doesn't look out of place. Perfect for both right handed and left handed players. I expected it to come loose and fall off but fitted correctly it is rock solid and I had no issues using it in a live situation. Instructions say not to leave it on all of the time as it may cause finish damage in 'expensive' guitars (think Nitro/Rickenbacker). Overall I am very pleased with this tuner. Prices vary considerably from different sellers so shop around (anywhere between £19 and £45 at the time of writing).
Review: Great design - very impressive - I have never been keen on cumbersome and fragile clip-on tuners but this is an excellent product. Very discreet, well designed, extremely sensitive and very accurate (tested on acoustic guitar and mandolin). Build quality is good, the ratchet clamp is neat and the non-slip surfaces grip well. I had no difficulty in seeing the changes on the colour display without needing my reading spectacles. I like the fact that it remembers which way the screen orientation is set after power off and the visual metronome is useful. The larger power button is near the display end so it is easy to feel without needing to see it. After power-up, the base frequency is briefly displayed but, usefully, there is a three or four second delay before you can change it; setting it by accident is extremely unlikely. However, if you do make a change, it does not reset to 440 on power-down so it is worth checking at power-up (just in case some joker has decided to set it for you). I needed to use a small screwdriver to loosen one side of the battery cover but I much prefer this to having it fall off in the dark. You might be aware that some strings can sound a little flat if they are not plucked at full playing volume and this tuner is sensitive enough to show this tendency. On a properly tuned string with both bars on, the left bar will tend to go off if you hit the string very hard. The percentage change is tiny but this sharpening effect is properly detected and you can correct for it if you prefer. This tuner was recommended to me by a professional musician and, at under £12.00, I ordered four without hesitation. If you appreciate great design, and the sound of properly tuned instruments, I'm sure you will be impressed.

## Features

- THE STEALTH TUNER - Your audience will never know there is a tuner on your instrument with the highly precise Micro Clip-On Tuner. The lightweight, discrete, compact tuner hides behind the headstock practically blending into the instrument and is small enough to be kept on your instrument while stored in its case. At 1.25", you will want one for each stringed instrument you own.
- EXTREME ACCURACY - The NS Micro features an extremely accurate piezo transducer that picks up an instrument's vibration rather than sound. A wide calibration range (410-480Hz) guarantees precise performance.
- EASY TO READ - The easy-to-read, tri-color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. Powered by a readily available (and included) CR2032 battery, you will enjoy maximum battery life thanks to the tuner's auto-off function.
- VERSATILE - Featuring a 360-degree swivel mechanism and adjustable padded clamp, the NS Mini offers optimal viewing angles and maximum positioning flexibility. For left or right-handed instruments with small or large headstocks, it is the ideal choice for acoustic and electric guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos and ukuleles.
- D’ADDARIO ACCESSORIES - For over 20 years, D’Addario Accessories (formerly Planet Waves) has been leading the industry in innovative and problem-solving products that serve musicians worldwide. D’Addario Accessories are proudly made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this tuner show sharps of flats, ie if i wanna tune 1/2step lower will this tuner display Eb or D# or does it only show standard tuning,**
A: Yes, it will show a D#. It is what is known as a 'chromatic tuner'. It detects vibrations, computes the frequency and shows whichever note you are closest to. It can, therefore, tune pretty much any instrument. It is a wonderful piece of kit. I have 3 or 4 of them.

**Q: Can you tell me if the display is changeable from 'Landscape' to 'Portrait' as it seems to me that the display will never be upright?**
A: The display has four orientations 2 in portrait (at 180 degrees to each other) and 2 in landscape (again at 180 degrees to each other).

**Q: Will this tuner cover Banjo, Guitar, Uke / Banjolele, Dulcimer. I Currently use  Korg & CellPhone, background noise is PROBLEM.    Herz Limits Please?**
A: I believe it will cover all the instruments listed.  It relies on picking up vibration directly from the Headstock and does not appear to be influenced by extraneous noise.  No idea what the hertz range is but I doubt if that is relevant as long as it covers your audible hearing range!!!!!  (By the way sharps are covered)

**Q: Ok, I'll rephrase the question. Has anyone used this tuner with a 12 string acoustic guitar? If so, how did it perform?**
A: Just seen your question. I don't have a 12-string acoustic anymore, but it works perfectly well with an acoustic and also with my Rickenbacker 620/12 electric 12-string. As long as you only strike one string at a time it should function prefectly well, as it reads the vibration rate from being clipped to the headstock. An acoustic will have very good resonance, so the tuner reads the vibration rate clearly and easily. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny Tunes
*by V***D on 5 October 2025*

Very small yet the display is very clear and easy to read. The clip works fine and is a ratchet rather than the usual spring clips you get on these. Tunes fine and the rotatable display is genius! My only issue is placement, I like it hidden behind the nut and but it gets in the way if you use guitar hangers. No problems if you have it higher on the headstock though. As a tip, if your headstock is a light 'wood' colour rather than a dark painted one wrap an appropriately coloured elastic band around the back of the clamp and as well as being held in place with a better grip it will become much less noticeable on the headstock!
