D'Addario

Description

D'Addario's NS Micro headstock tuner is the pinnacle of convenience for musicians on the go. This feature-packed tuner delivers fast, accurate tuning with an easy-to-read display, while its micro design effortlessly hides on either side of the headstock. Guitarists, bassists and banjo players will love the NS Micro's sensitive piezo transducer and backlit screen, allowing for precise tuning even on noisy stages or in dimly lit studios.

Highly Accurate and Fast Tuning With Visual Metronome Mode

The NS Micro's improved accuracy and quick response provide smooth, precise tuning for any instrument. An expanded calibration range handles any tuning. This tuner's sensitive transducer picks up the faintest notes, displaying the tuning information on an easy-to-read screen so you can get in tune fast.

360-Degree Swivel Mechanism for Optimal Viewing

A 360-degree swivel mechanism gives you the perfect viewing angle every time. The padded clamp offers a secure yet gentle grip on any headstock, keeping the tuner in place during energetic performances. This flexibility and range of motion ensures an ideal line of sight whether you're tuning a left- or right-handed instrument or an ax with a large or small headstock.

Reversible Screen and Micro Design for Stealthy Portability

The NS Micro's diminutive size lets it mount discreetly on either side of your instrument's headstock. Its reversible screen displays tuning information on the front or back, allowing the tuner to stay clamped on inside most cases for storage between gigs. This stealthy portability gives you a tuner that's ready to go whenever inspiration strikes, without detracting from your instrument's aesthetics.

Maximum Battery Life and Auto-Off Function

Powered by a standard CR2032 battery, the NS Micro provides long-lasting performance for musicians on the move. An auto-off function shuts the tuner off after several minutes to conserve battery life so you can keep it mounted to your instrument in standby mode until it's needed. The included battery will keep this tuner functioning for a long time, reducing downtime spent replacing power sources.

The Best Accessory I've Bought in Years: A Game-Changer for

I recently purchased the D'Addario NS Micro Headstock Tuner, and I couldn't be more impressed! This tuner is exactly as advertised: low profile and sleek. Its adjustable clip allows it to attach seamlessly to the headstock of my guitar, making it virtually unnoticeable, which is a huge plus for me. What I love most is its outstanding performance. The tuner works incredibly well, providing accurate readings that allow me to tune my guitar quickly and easily. Whether I'm at home, at a gig, or just jamming with friends, I can rely on this tuner to get my instrument sounding perfect in no time. Overall, I highly recommend the D'Addario NS Micro Headstock Tuner to any guitarist looking for a reliable, convenient, and unobtrusive tuning solution. It has truly made tuning my guitar a breeze!.

This model is NOT a NS

This is NOT an NS. The description is wrong. The newer model has upgraded software for faster and more accurate tuning. The NS also has a visual metronome. If you don't see the B button, it is not an NS, and no, the NS does not stand for Ned Steinberger. That's what the guy at guitar center said because it is designed by Ned. Also, it seems the new version only comes in black.

    Great tool. This is easy to use and is accurate. The low profile hides this from view but allows the player to easily see the reading.

    How does this model (white) differ from the black model, Item #:1375800279142 that cost $19.99. Spec's look the same. Does the white model have more features or software or what? I ordered the black model on line and it did not work. Customer service refunded my money. I hesitate to order the black model again.

    I’m sorry, I don’t know that it is different other than the color.
