Chromatic Headstock Tuner TG - 200H

September 3rd, 2010 posted by admin

I recently bought a Chromatic Headstock Tuner TG – 200H from Amazon for £12.99. I play the guitar and I had previously been using my computer to tune up online but it’s not very transportable and if you’re travelling you really need something light and easy to use anywhere. It took me a while to get the hang of how to use this tuner and it’s really sensitive which I suppose is the whole point, but now I find it really invaluable. This tuner can be used for guitar, bass or ukulele and it’s nice and small and light. The tuner clips on to the guitar (or another instrument of your choice) and picks up the tuning from the strings as you strum them individually. There’s also a CAPO button which identifies if you’re using a CAPO which I think is really clever. Another great thing is that there’s an automatic function which switches the power off after five minutes so if you’re in a gig and you forget to switch it off it doesn’t matter. I think this is a particularly good function. For £12.99 it’s a really good bargain and so much easier than using an online tuner. I’ve used friend’s tuners in the past as well, but they all seemed to come in crappy plastic packaging and this one is definitely the best and lightest I’ve tried so far. The fact that it’s so small means you can literally put it in your pocket, which is pretty handy when you’re laden down with guitars and amps and PAs! I always find Amazon fairly speedy and a good useable website. This time too is didn’t disappoint and the whole thing was well worth it.
