![]() ![]() ![]() Leave it on for hours if you want (I left it one overnight once and it wasn't "hot" or anything). Hey, no more pesky flat cell batteries at least. New answer: "How about a Behringer BTR-2000!" lol But how many times has our spouse asked, "Honey, I can't think of what to get you for your birthday?" We answer: "Doh! I can't think of anything either!" I use a piece of rubber yoga mat under it so it'll stay put and not marr my shelf.ĭoes it tune better than a Snark? No. It's flat and stands well on any flat surface-it just needs stick-on rubber feet. It is meant for a guitar rack, and as such does not have rubber feet on it. So, I keep it on a shelf right next to my practice area. It won t work across the room or something like that. When I tune, I must be (with acoustic ukulele) within about 3-4 feet of it. If there is one negative, I wish the built-in mic was more sensitive (or that I played my uke louder). Why I don t know.so it's not terribly annoying to look at that way. It's weird that, when I am playing a song, it bounces the lights up and down occasionally, but not for every note I play like you'd think. To use the metronome, it has to be plugged into an amp - although it has a built in microphone input, it doesn t seem to have a built-in speaker for the metronome. Not intended to be portable, it just sits there and does its thing. When I want to tune, I just turn slightly to look at the tuner, and tune! When I'm done practicing, I just turn it off until next time. With the Behringer, I just leave it on the entire time I'm practicing. I wanted no tiny batteries, and no "on and off" while I practiced-just leave it on. ![]() I, generally, play non-electric ukes, so I just wanted a tuner that was AC powered, highly visible, that doesn't attach to the headstock (I had a Koaloha once that was scratched on the headstock by a tuner, never again). It can also be used with a straight pass-through with guitar cables for electric ukes (see Amazon link above for photos of back to see many input and outputs). It's chromatic, so it tunes all instruments (I think), but actually has a setting for ukulele (and mandolin, etc.). One button power on and it's ready to tune. It has a built in microphone, so I just set it on a nearby shelf near an AC outlet, and nothing else. It's neat! It tunes well-it has two settings, one for a finer tune (where the lights indicate more "sensitivity", if you will), and a more regular sensotivity tuning, which is where I leave it. I sprung for the Behringer BTR2000 for about $80 on Amazon. Price must be low enough to justify, and it has to have a built-in microphone. Practical Mute function for direct signal muting during tuning (controllable via optional footswitch).Ī complete splurge, I wanted a tuner that I could leave on full time, no batteries but AC powered, at my practice area of my home. True hardware bypass for highest signal integrity between input and output.Additional 1/4'' TS output for metronome click/reference tone - perfect for monitoring and practice applications.
