Will this work as a guitar tuner as well? (received as a Christmas gift, but it's the uke version instead of guitar)

I do not know anything about guitars, however, review of Amazon.com customer comments indicate that it is good on guitars.

yes this is the standard Snark tuner and it will work for any instrument it just has to hear it. you could tune anyting from a guitar to a ukelele to a tuba.

This model (SN-6) works fine on my electric and acoustic guitars as well as my 'cello.

As far as I know, it will work for a guitar - I believe the strings for a uke are tuned to the same pitch as the strings of a guitar. It's just there are only 4 strings on a uke and more on a guitar.

Yes, it does, I just tried it. You can also use it to tune up/down a half step. It's a great value at this price.

I see no reason it will not work. When you clip the tuner to the instrument and pluck a string the tuner displays the closest note to that played and if the frequency is slightly above or below the popper frequency.

Sorry, I'm just a beginner guitar player. I definitely don't know how to play a ukulele. So I don't know if you can use with a ukulele. I imagine you could but you may want to ask the vendor of the products. Thanks

Yes this tuner is actually made for tuning acoustic guitars. I also use it to tune my Gibson electric guitar, but I do it when I have it unplugged. This is the best tuner I have found and easy to use. The screen is blue and when you hit the correct tuning the screen turns green. There is also a needle that shows if you are sharp or flat to know which way to turn the tuning knob.

I use mine on guitars and a 5 string banjo which tune to different notes than a guitar. I haven't tried it on other instruments but it should work just fine so long as you are within its upper and lower frequency limits. For example it might not read the highest piano key or the lowest but within its range it would do just fine. It works by picking up vibrations from whatever it is clamped on. It, of course, has no idea where the vibrations come from just that there are vibrations and it will tell you what note they are and how far off you are from the nearest musical note.

My wife bought this for me as a gag gift. I'm not sure if it will work with an acoustic/electric instrument, but this amp is not that powerful. Your ukulele will probably be just a loud on its own as the speaker breaks up past the half point. It does a decent job with headphones on the clean setting. You can get some distortion, but it's not that great of a sound if too high on that as well.

Of course, I use it on a ukulele, for sure you can use it on traveler guitar :)

Does it work with a ukelele? It kinda depends on what you are looking for in a capo and the type of player you are. I use this capo mostly on an acoustic guitar. I do have a concert uke that I use it with and it works fine as far as keeping tune. My cousin uses it on her uke and plays in the church band. However it's a tad large behind the neck making it prone to wrists bumping it. It will also extend far past the width of the neck. Aesthetically not too pleasing. If you are a beginner or casual player spend the few bucks and try it out. I've had several of these things and they do not break. If you are a serious uke player or just want something meant specifically for a uke I would recommend dropping down on a Shubb L-9 or a Kyser capo. They are specifically fit for smaller stringed instruments. But they cost about $20.

not sure, but should since it works on string vibration and is chromatic & can tune all notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.

hello chip, the snark is an all instrument tuner so it should work fine for your Uke. It's a great tuner, easy to read and quick to give you a reading.

All tuners I know of are monophonic...they will tune one note. The korg units are not my favorites. They are not really very durable or reliable. The built in mc is pretty lame. The tuners that use vibration seem to work better for most acoustic stringed instruments.

I think it would work on a Ukulele. I tried it on my daughter's, but it is not a real ukulele, it is a toy. Still, there was even pressure, and no buzzing from the strings.

Im not sure because I dont own a ukulele, go to a music store a see if it works, if so purchase it through Amazon and save some money.

It's chromatic and shows the note actually played. As long as you know the notes you want, it is incredibly accurate. If you want one that displays open tunings in the way that the early tuners only displayed E-A-D-G-B-E when "guitar" was selected, this doesnt' have modes for open tuning and won't do that to my knowledge.

Not here. I can't imagine why one tuner would behave any differently than another. Your diagnosis is, sadly, probably correct. In addition to Amazon's return policy the uke carries a five-year limited warranty. You can call the manufacturer at (800) 877-6863 to make a specific enquiry. They are great instruments, by the way, and I think you'll find it worth your effort to get the matter resolved rather than moving to another brand.

Yes, this tuner can be used for either Acoustic or Electric guitars, as long as it is only used for a '6-string'.

Hey Chip, as long as you know what notes you want to tune to it shouldn't be a problem. The tuner uses the vibration through the instrument to tell you what your tuning is.

I haven't had much luck with a guitar tuner, butI've found a chromatic tuner does work.
