Qwik Tune Automatic Chromatic Tuner Reviews 2

I bought this unit in April 2001 for my bass guitar. I bought it at a music store in the NC mountains. I paid $28 for it.

Almost nothing. It works OK for bass guitar I guess. Trying to tune a guitar is another matter altogether!

I recently bought an Angus Young Gibson SG and have tried using this tuner to get it in tune and I tell you this tuner cannot possibly tune a guitar. It flip-flops from note to note so rapidly that it's hard to get the tuner to settle on the correct note long enough to get a reading! Then when I finally get a string to hold the green "in tune" light, it is horribly out of tune compared to the other strings. I can have every single string read "in tune" yet when I strum a chord it's all a jangled mush!

Construction and quality seem to be adequate. The battery connection(which was the problem with my old tuner) looks to be well made.

This tuner sucks!
