![]() My ns mini however is right where it always is. I own a snark too, but I can't tell you where in the world it is right now. I love that it is right there, and always right there. I for one think having a metronome right there might encourage me to actually practice with a metronome more. Since the micro is supposedly more sensitive I'm hoping this might no longer be needed. I use it on stage all the time like that. I tune the top string to the tuner then the bottom by ear, and after getting used to that I've never had an issue. My one gripe with it was that it wasn't quite accurate enough to tune the string pairs perfect, but it gets close. ![]() I've never had an issue with it in a loud jam, or otherwise - and I've been in some loud jams. I've had to replace the battery once in that time, although I think that was mostly because I accidentally left it on for a while. I bought a mini when they first came out and it's been on my mando headstock ever since. I've gotta admit I'm pretty amped for the micro. Do any of the people who design these things actually hang out with real musicians who drink and smoke and yell and laugh from deep down inside and generally ruckus about playing music all night long like all of my friends and customers do? We're not exactly a delicate crowd. All of the tuners I find seem to have the number one concern of a cheap price rather than a working tool $20 each three or four times a year is no bargain. ![]() I wanna be able to step on it, have it fall on the ground, cold weather, hot weather, waterproof, and all the rest of the day to day use that I put them through. What I'd like most of all is a tuner that actually works, when you need it to work, and was built to military spec standards. One of the nice things about all of the recent tuners is that at the rate they keep shrinking, we'll likely be able to buy one that is just a featherweight thin adhesive strip in a couple of years. I follow the directions, I turn it off every time, and still dead in three days.after four weeks of this, it sits in the unused obsolete electronics drawer. When it works, I like it a lot, but it seems to eat batteries in about three days. I have one of the original minis that I bought about three months ago. » View Full Version of These Comments Reader Comments YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN to your Mandolin Cafe forum account to comment.

D'Addario: Introducing the NS Micro Tuner The NS Mini Headstock Tuner will be on display at this year's Summer NAMM show in Nashville (July 11-13) and will ship some time in July with a suggested retail price of $32.99. NS Micro Tuner has an expanded calibration range for multiple musical situations and even includes a visual metronome for practicing on the go. This tuner is great for loud and dark stages the simple, multi-color, backlit display shows the note name in red to indicate when the note is out of tune and green to reveal when the note is in tune. The NS Micro's improved tuning software offers faster note recognition and accuracy than its forerunner, while still providing accurate tuning by using an ultra-sensitive piezo sensor system. The tuner can also stay on the instrument while in the case, so you never lose track of your tuner again. For an even more user-friendly experience, Planet Waves has improved the ratchet clip-on design. This easy-to-use tuner is concealed and blends in with the aesthetics of the instrument. This allows for the musician to have a full view of the screen while the tuner remains virtually undetectable by the audience. "The minuscule design allows players to enjoy effortless and inconspicuous tuning! They'll want one for every instrument."ĭesigned in conjunction with Ned Steinberger, and even smaller than its predecessor the NS Mini Headstock tuner, Planet Waves' NEW NS Micro Tuner's stealthy, lightweight design allows it to be clipped to the back of the headstock. "Always striving to improve, we're thrilled about this new iteration of Planet Waves' clip-on tuner," says Planet Waves Product Manager, Rob Cunningham. D'Addario and Planet Waves is proud to announce the launch of the new NS Micro Tuner, the next iteration in its family of clip-on, headstock tuners.
