Snark tuners suck!

Post by dylan »

I was impressed with the brightness and interface of a mates snark, so bought one.

It sucks - the whole range from low to high is only 12 segments, so the closest you can tune is a 12th of a tone - 8.3 cents.

my samson ct20 has over 50 segments from low to high, and is capable of getting a guitar in perfect tune.

the snark just isnt accurate enough.

Mine seems ok, not quite as accurate as my Pitch Black but good enough at home for me.
