The Intelli IMT500 Digital Tuner Lets Anyone Tune Their Instrument Like a Pro

Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner with backlight is designed to tune acoustic guitars, basses, violins, banjos, mandolins and more without interference from ambient room noise. And it does this all without the use of wires, microphones or pickups. Tuning in noisy environments is easy because the unique, flexible clamp uses the instruments

Features a bright backlit display.

vibrational energy instead of relying on sound. Plus, the swivel allows a perfect view of the backlit display. The best part is that this quality tuner costs a fraction of what other similar tuners cost.

Tune Like a Pro
Whether you are in a nosy environment or a quiet one, the Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner is the right tuner for your musical instrument. This tuner clips onto your instrument headstock and allows you to tune it using the vibrations of your strings. This wireless device is indispensible when you are on the road and warming up in a noisy venue. More sensitive than its predecessors, the IMT500 accurately senses even the vibrations of bass notes on dreadnought sized guitars.

Easy to Use and Read

Place anywhere on the headstock.

Small enough to stick in a pocket, the body of the tuner is about 2.25 inches diagonally. The meter screen itself is square at about 1.25 inches diagonally. The scale is easy to read, and is typical for many electronic tuners and easily understood. It has a calibration feature, which takes it from a 430 to a 449-A reference. It also has a flatting feature for use in tuning with a capo. It doesn't matter where you put the IMT500 on the headstock--just clip it on and pluck a string since it already knows which string you are tuning. The jaws of the clip have soft rubber pads to protect the finish of your instrument.

Vibrations Are the Key
Older clip-on tuners used to have sensitive microphones. Not the IMT500. Unlike tuners that use a built in microphone, the IMT500 doesn’t have any problems with interference from ambient noise. This tuner uses nothing but the vibrations of the plucked string. Everything else is automatic. The vibrations themselves tell the IMT500 what string is being tuned and if it is flat, sharp, or just right. The calibrate button to the right of the display screen is used to tune an instrument to a pitch other than 440 Hz. (440 Hz is the default pitch, which equals C with no flat.)

Saves Time and Money
You'll see Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner at festivals, indie concerts and jam sessions because they are worth their price and more. Less than half the cost of their predecessors, the IMT500 works a whole lot better. The price allows the serious musician to get two--one for practice, and one for the instrument case. Never forget to pack your tuner again.

Clip on Guitar Tuner Aug 18, 2010
Prompt receipt of the product. The instrument initially tended to fail to identify the
low "E" string. However, by clipping it directly above the E string, the problem was
solved and I am quite pleased with the Intelli IMT500 Tuner.

Slow and innacurate Aug 18, 2010
I play acoustic guitar and also have a tenor ukulele. This is my first clip-on type tuner. I bought the Intelli IMT500 after seeing how convenient my brother's Korg AW2G Clip-on Tuner was when we played together. Previously I had been using a Sabine STX1100 (kinda bulky) and an iPhone app (Guitar toolkit).

The Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner for Strings is by far the slowest and least accurate of the tuners listed above. Using the Intelli IMT500 is very frustrating, the only way to get close to accurate tuning is to silence all the strings, wait for the tuner needle to drift back to zero, pluck one string, let it re-zero, pluck the next string, let it re zero... The tuning needle moves so slow that often you tune up or down past the target and have to keep correcting.

I tested it against the iPhone app which shows plus or minus cents and is accurate down to .1 khz. The Intelli IMT500 was always at least 5 cents off and some times tuned one string high and one string low, so the accuracy is not limited to being sharp or flat.

All in all I would not recommend this item. Try the Korg AW2G Clip-on Tuner, which I have used and love the speed and accuracy. I am not going to keep the Intelli IMT500 and I will send it back as soon as I find the box.

Great tuner Aug 17, 2010
This is the only tuner I can get to work on my banjo. They are not very sturdy. My last one had to be glued as it came apart. But at this price I keep an extra one in my case. They are also very easy to read.

digital string tuner Aug 16, 2010
Fast shipping & great deal! Easy to use for guitar tuning for my 9 y/o.

a nice little tuner Aug 15, 2010
this tuner seems to work very well. it's a little slow, but for the price you can't go wrong. the clip is pretty flimsy and time will tell if it lasts as long as the rest of the tuner.
