Bought two of these, using one on an open back and the other on a resonator banjo. Positions perfectly and out of the way (instead of sticking out like a wart on the peg head). Getting better tuning too with it against the rim. Easy to use.

D’Addario stands by their products. Give them a call if you feel something is not right. I own at least half dozen of this type tuner for guitars.

After reading the reviews I was apprehensive thinking it may not fit. Many say they broke it trying to install. I thought the whole thing went under the brackets for the head. I found it fit perfectly on top of one and under two. There is enough flex for this fit. My brackets are 1.5 inches apart. In the first photo notice the half-circle opening at the bottom of the strap. That goes over one bracket the other two fit under the corresponding brackets. To install slide one side of the strap completely under the front bracket, then press down on the back of the bracket, so it will slide under the third bracket, while sliding the entire piece towards that third bracket.To make this easy to see you can remove the actual tuner from the bracket just slide it forward and it will come off. If you look at the underside of the tuner you will see a large and small hole on the strap. the tuner has a small knob on it. the knop fits into the large hole and slides to the smaller hole to keep it secure.Some have issues with instructions on the tuner’s use. I found it very intuitive. once installed turn it on and pluck a string the tuner will respond with a note and some lines on either side of the note. tune to the point that the note you want has a small blue line on either side of the note. It seemed touchy on my banjo that is the best I could tune.

Won’t fit all clawhammer banjos , the rim clamps need to be pretty close together.A little touchy when turning, but it works ok.Won’t fit in a hard case , not enough rim space for the tuner which sticks out from the rim.

My son recently took up 5 string banjo and needed a tuner.As a lifelong musician, myself, I looked to D’addario, since they’re products are always above par.They did not let me down! Accurate, highly adjustable piezo tunerAs for instalation- I can safely say that all reviews complaining the tuner broke while installing, without exception tried forcing it into place without paying attention to the different length of the tabs and broke it, themselves. The tiniest bit of common sense and observational ability make instalation a breeze.If you’re a novice just picking up the instrument or a seasoned pro- D’addario is an excellent brand, across the board.

I love the idea of this tuner. For the price it performs well. Surprisingly enough, at least I was surprised to find that it is not super easy to find a good location on the banjo ring clamps to mount. You are limited to specific locations because you need to see the lcd and my banjo strap also needs to occupy similar areas. Couple that with my electronic 1/4″ jack for electrifying my instrument and it can take a few minutes to find the place you like that will work well. It ultimately worked out all right. It functions pretty good. I really don’t love the interface with bars on each side of a note letter. I prefer a gauge style tuner but that is personal preference. Accuracy is fair. My banjo is tuned open G and it struggles a bit with the B string which brings me to my ultimate point for the review. I think you need your ear to final fine tune the instrument. The tuner itself does not get it close enough in my opinion and if you have an experienced ear, all will be fine. If not, I would suggest a tuner with a better interface if your ear training needs some work. Full disclosure, I believe all tuners function that way. A tuner is a good tool to get you close, but I am rarely satisfied with the tuner results for multiple reasons and ultimately use my ear…..or other musicians instruments that I am playing with so take my above criticism with a grain of salt. I think ultimately I have purchased better tuners that clip on for half the price, but the cool form factor and the fact that I final tune by ear anyway makes this an acceptable product for me. I am on the fence on whether or not I would buy another to replace it. It is also a specialty form factor, so would be tough to quickly move this tuner from instrument to instrument like my other clip on tuners. However, if you dig the cool form factor, don’t need the tuner to get you all the way home, and can spring the extra money for essentially a dedicated instrument tuner, then buy it. It does “work”. If you are new to the instrument, your ear training needs work, or if you have multiple instruments and want a tuner that works with em all…I would likely pass.

Perfect for my banjo

Please post on your description to any and all purchasers. This tuner will not work on a Goldtone, Dean, Fender Rustler, Deering, or any 6 string banjo. The span between the ring/resonator braces is too long to accommodate this tuner. This tuner is made for 5 string banjos only.

Took a month to get it and it was a big disappointment
It would not pick up the b string from the top of the banjo if I put it on the bottom it worked but was to small to see defeated the whole purpose of getting it tried to contact the maker by e mail they did not respond if they don’t care about their products why should I I returned it to amazon

チューナーとしては問題なし
チューナーとしては問題なく使用できていますが、商品の説明に載っているメトロノーム機能に関しては現行品には付いていないとの事でした。代理店の株式会社キョーリツコーポレーションさんからAmazonさんへメトロノーム機能に関する記載の削除を要請をしたとの事ですので今後は知らずに購入する人もいなくなると思います。
