Does this tuner solve the problem of overtones and ambient noise? Trying to tune a 5-string banjo, and clip-ons waver between flat and sharp, never really settling.

It's a wonderful tuner! Especially for a guitar maker to set up nut and saddle compensation. Clip on tuners don't have this level of real time sensitivity.

I cannot answer that as this is the first clip-on tuner that I have ever tried. I think it works well.

There are probably some tuners that are more specific for flutes. This could work, but it wouldn't all that convenient.

Mine was almost perfect. The intonation was off by a pinch on the third string. It sounded good before the adjustment, and excellent after.

I took the banjo to the local music store, bought the bridge and had them install it. I understand that it's relatively simple after you have been playing awhile, but I am completely new at this. Placement of the bridge affects tone and tuning. It only cost $12.00 total and well worth it.

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.

This tuner works perfectly!! the problem is... violas are simply never quite in tune. You might want to ask violinist to tune the viola due to the incompetence of the violist and viola. Have fun!

I don't think you'll have a problem. I can turn my modulator to a station that is pure static and whatever I'm using my modulator to play comes in clearly; I can also turn it to a station whose music is coming in clearly and the modulator still "overrides" the station to play just fine.

I haven't tried it on a six string banjo. But my guess is that it should work. The mute works in part by increasing the mass of the bridge, which the mute will do regardless of the number of strings.

It's good for both. I have one in a banjo and another in my octave mandolin. I run both through a pre-amp before running into the sound board.

As I understand, the Snark SN2 is an "all instrument tuner." I tried it on a mandolin, guitar, bass, cello, violin, viola and upright bass and it worked every time. Never tried a ukulele but I imagine it would work, it has a wide range. Also as well as the vibration tuner it does have a microphone tuner.

I have used this tuner on my bass guitar and mandolin; it worked fine. I do not know the tuning of a banjo; I see no reason it would NOT work for you in this application.

Yes. It messed up the color of the strings. As far as muting the strings, it depends on how tight u have it. If it muted the strings, u have the capo on too tight.

It should work with a Banjo. As long as the clip fits on the banjo? It will tell you what note is playing.

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 use it on my banjo and do not use a preamp. However, I do get a little feedback but adjust my volume back.

The pitchblack is not going to work well. You really need a tuner that displays frequency in Hz. And you might need to know a little something about equal temperament to get the best results. http://howtotuneapiano.com/blog/tuning-a-piano-with-an-electronic-tuner/
