Tuning, what’s that? Never heard of it. Is it a jazz thing?

Most definitely NOT a jazz thing, I would say! 😅

I have been using the D'Addario little clip ons for a few years now.  I got 2 for $20 on some promotion they ran.  Sounds like the Peterson is the way to go for very accurate tuning and other neat functions.  Since I mostly just play acoustic guitars now with heavier gauge strings I often find I can just take them out of their case and play and they are in tune.  And since I'm not bending and pulling on the strings as much as when I played electric the tend to stay in tune.

I used Snarks in the past, but they broke too often on me. Not the electronics  the plastic. I went with TC Polytune and I love them. To me best price value.

Just curious. How did they break? I finally replaced my first one, because it was getting kind of ratty looking. Haven’t had one break.

I've not had one fail either.  They've held up pretty good.
