D'Addario Accessories: Gear Guide Unlike ordinary peg winders, the patented Pro-Winder is a high-quality peg winder with a built-in clipper, bridge pin puller and string stretcher. The Pro-Winder is designed to fit virtually all guitars, banjos, and mandolins. The D’Addario Auto Lock Guitar Strap is a simple integrative strap locking system built for your performance. The latch is spring-loaded, so it automatically clamps down on the strap button and will not release unless desired. Celluloid is one of the most popular guitar pick materials today. Available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and thicknesses, celluloid is known for providing a natural feel and warm, fat tone. The Tri-Action capo assures buzz-free, in tune performance at any fret. The patent-pending Tri-Action geometry reduces the force required to open and close the capo and applies even tension regardless of neck profile.

D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuner (PW-CT-12)

From the Manufacturer

Planet Waves electronic tuner's are designed by musicians for musicians featuring intuitive features, easy to read display's, and exceptional tuning accuracy.

Planet Waves, part of the D'Addario family of brands, is known for innovative, problem-solving, quality musical accessories. Planet Waves offers a complete line of award-winning accessories including cables, picks, tuners, capos, straps, humidifiers, maintenance tools and more.


Planet Waves Mini Headstock Tuner — PW-CT-12



Easy to read, color-changing backlit screen



Optimal viewing angle on the widest array of guitars and instruments featuring a 360 Degree Swivel Mechanism

Compact and Highly Accurate


Simple to use, featuring only two buttons

True to its name, the NS Mini Headstock Tuner features a low-profile design that can barely be seen by the audience while the large display can be seen easily by the player. The highly compact design even allows the tuner to be kept on the guitar while stored in its case.

Easy on the Eyes

The easy-to-read, color-changing backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, and green when in tune. This allows the player to accurately tune with a quick glance at the display--even on dark stages or in direct sunlight.

Ultimate Versatility

The NS Mini features a 360 degree swivel mechanism that allows the tuner to be equally effective on both left and right-handed guitars. It also provides the optimal viewing angle on the widest array of guitars and instruments. The rubberized padded clamp ensures no damage is done to the instrument.

Professional Accuracy without Complications

Featuring just two buttons--power and frequency (430-450 Hz)--the NS Mini is extremely simple to use right out of the box. The included CR2032 battery powers the unit for hours and hours on end. The auto-off function preserves the battery by turning the tuner off after several minutes of no signal.

The powerful software is based on the same software found in the Planet Waves Chromatic Headstock tuner, renowned amongst professionals for its extreme accuracy and ease of use.

Great 'very' small tuner if you plan to fit it and leave it.
Great 'very' little tuner. Only 1 1/4" long and 3/4" wide....really small.Bright display despite it's size - has colour indication for tuning (red, amber, green) plus bars either side for fine tuning in the 'green' zone. Button to flip the read-out on the display 180 degrees. Very helpful as I have mine hidden behind head stock - wouldn't be able to read display up-side-down.Also accurate....certainly agrees with my Snark tuner anyway.Only slight concern is the build quality of the ratchet tightening mechanism. It does feel flimsy so I would say that this is not a tuner you want to keep removing.Also it doesn't 'open' as wide as I would like. It was a very tight fit on the head stock of my Cordoba classical guitar, which is 3/4" thick. Had to force it a bit - just managed to get one click on it but does seem to hold ok. Also not quite as sensitive as my Snark...takes a bit more 'pluck' to get a good reading.All in all, very pleased with it. Really easy to use - really easy to read display plus can be placed hidden away.I would certainly recommend it at least for classical guitar.

Nice tuner that you can clip on and leave in place. Works well and is super convenient due to size. Having a spring clip might help a bit to keep it in place if you move around with the guitar a lot, but still recommended.

I have several and they are great! Clips on easy and as long as it’s secure,it will read accurately. Nice and bright, small but easy to read. I don’t like the snarks that look huge and hang way out. They look terrible. These are tiny, but east to read even in sunlight.

Let me start by saying I love this tuner. It works really well and is perfect for anyone who wants a small, discreet and accurate tuner. I would highly recommend if you are looking for something small that does not take up your entire headstock. I absolutely love how you can change the hz from 440hz. Also, cool how you can flip the display to work upside down.

PROS
- Small and compact.
- Great looking tuner, very discreet.
- Accurate and customizable.

CONS
- May potentially fall off your guitar and get lost. (This is my 3rd)

I've used the D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner for years on my many guitars that I use for gigs and for teaching. This new version has a dramatically improved screen which is much easier to read in bright light situations, like onstage. Additionally, on previous models that I would leave clipped onto electric guitars or basses that I carry in gig bags, sometimes the switch would accidentally get turned on and it would quickly drain the battery. The new versions have an on/off switch that cannot be turned on easily by accident, as you have to hold the button down deliberately for a couple of seconds. I got two of them when they were on sale and as soon as they came I instantly wished I'd purchased 3 more. When I went to order more, the price had gone up. I will be buying those extra three tuners - but I might wait to see if they go back on sale. The "footprint" of this tuner is so small that it is easy to miss on guitars that have dark headstocks, which makes it an unobtrusive tuner to use onstage. I like these tuners a great deal. It's a great product that does exactly what it is supposed to, but does it so well that you take notice.

Awesome small clip-on tuner. easy to read and easy to use. Like most clip-on tuners it's actually more accurate to tune with the volume on the guitar turned all the way down.

I tune my main guitar to drop C and I did find that the tuner sometimes reads the tuning on my low string as a G instead of a C. It's only occasional and usually goes away pretty quickly, but it's something to be aware of.

All in all awesome product. I will be buying more so I can have them on all my guitars.

They changed the design of the tuner (I ordered twice, same model both times) :
- bad: NO METRONOME, missing mode button
- bad: one fat rubber button (press 4 sides) instead of separate buttons
- good: much brighter display, white text with colored bars on the side showing tuning
- good: tuning is pretty accurate, agrees with my DAW
- good: very low profile

Overall, I kept it because I needed a tuner and I liked how low profile it is on the neck so you can keep it on at all times, but I was sufficiently annoyed by the fact that they changed the product without updating the description to write this review.
The missing metronome wasn't a deal-breaker for me (but might be for some people), and I would have much rather preferred discrete buttons instead of pushing against an almost completely non-tactile rubber pad, but the screen changes are excellent.

Uso este modelo de afinador há um tempão. Tive 2 da telinha verde. Porém, esta atualização está MUITO superior ao modelo antigo da tela verde. Liga / desliga muito mais rápido, o afinador está mais sensível e a tela colorida faz bastante diferença. Também entrou um modo para deixar a leitura de afinação na vertical que antes não tinha. Enfim, apesar de pequeno é ultra discreto, é um BAITA afinador.

This tuner works like a charm. It's small and stays hidden and works easily with a bright display which you orient four different ways. The controls are simple and easy to figure out. I've owned an older version and it has yet to fail me. The battery it came with has lasted for years and it's so easy to operate and read. It attaches easily anywhere near the guitar's head and the response is immediate. This new version looks to be a slight improvement with a brighter display and I have all the confidence in the world that it will last just as long. Kudos to D'Addario for an excellent product.
