 Cheaply built. Aug 29, 2011
By coolreviewer1
"coolkayaker1"
Poor tuner, cheap as cheap can be. Feel cheapo right out of the package. I own many tuners, the best being Seiko and SNARK tuners. Snark SN-2 All Instrument Clip-On Chromatic Tuner and Seiko SAT800E Heavy Duty Chromatic Tuner They are solid and well built. They have never failed me.
This KORG Pitchclip tuner feels lightweight, but at the expense of quality. It does not clip on as hard as the Snark, and although it has a lower profile, it's minimized by the fact that you have to flip it up every time you want to turn it on. The power button is underneath it. Plus, for a R handed uke/guitarist, the numbers and tuning letters are upside down. Sure, instructions say you can hold power button down for three seconds to flip the display, but guess what: you have to do it every single time you turn it on. Annoying as anything!
The SNark's only issue is that it's not low profile on the head. But, I have removed the clip and use it's gauge only, and now it's low profile and I can dangle it from my uke head on a string.
The Korg Pitchclip attachable tuner (and I love my guitar Korg Pitchblack pedal tuner, by the wayKorg Pitchblack True Bypass Chromatic Tuner Pedal with 4 Display Modes) just plain rots like stale cottage cheese left in your guitar case. Snark is both cheaper and better.
Thanks.
Addendum: It's been a month since my last review, and I'm getting used to this tuner slightly, so I did increase the review by a star. I'm used to holding the button down to get it to "face" me, and it is low profile on my ukulele head...that's the best part of it. But, it's still cheaply built, feels very flimsy, feels like it could crap out anytime, doesn't clip on nearly as tightly or securely as the SNARK tuner, and is harder to read. You have to flip it open every single time you turn it on, as the button is inside it. PITA! This tuner costs fifty percent more than the Snark, and for it, you get nothing.
I think, if having a functioning tuner that you plan to keep on your instrument full time is your sole goal, then this may be for you due to its low profile. But, you may need to modify it to get it to clip tight enough (e.g add more padding under it and on your uke head to give thickness for it to "grab"). If you are not going to want this on your instrument full time, but just some of the time or not at all, I'd absolutely buy the almost unanimously 5-star rated Snark II. Bye now.

 dandy little gadget Sep 14, 2011
By P. Francis
"vtcornercarver"
though very small, this works incredibly well. I use it on my old 00018 Martin as well as my solid body electric (un;lugged) and 440 is easy to achieve.. highly recommended.

Worth the Wait Jan 02, 2012
By guitar tuner
The Korg Pitchclip Chromatic Clip On Guitar Tuner (PC-1) was just as advertised, although it arrived three days later than estimated.

This little tuner is great. Small, easy to use. Great price too. I got it as a gift for Christmas and liked it so well I ordered an extra one for my office guitar.
