## Description

The Newest! “Tunes Tighter So You Sound Better.” The SN-8 Snark Super Tight Chromatic Instrument Tuner provides a solid stay-put clip-on direct connection to your instrument. Has more precise tuning, and advanced features! Power saving feature: tuner display will dim after 5 seconds of no sound detected. This conserve battery power. Display returns to normal brightness when a note is detected. If no notes are detected for 2 minutes, tuner will shut off.Improved Full Color visual display with larger improved frequency lines making it an easy read. It can be used in practice or live giging situations. Other features: tap tempo metronome, pitch calibration, and a transpose feature for tuning guitars with capo. Internal vibration sensor detects notes by clipping on directly to instrument.The Snark only weighs 1.5 ounces with a very expertly made clamp with rubber gripping jaws. The lower jaw hinges allowing it to fit any contour. Snark tuners will clip on and stay to even Ovation with the angled head stock. Also has ball socket on each end of the curved mounting post that connects the clamp to the face. Allows 360 degress maneuvering making the Snark perfectly adjustable for most any situation.Comes complete with a CR2032 Lithium 3 volt battery. This is the same kind that many computers use for the clock battery. Battery is held in a simple pull out draw behind tuner face.It’s best to tune-up on stage just before you play because the temperature on stage will be a little different than other places in the building. A clip on tuner is fast and you can put the Snark in your pocket as soon as you’re done or leave it on instrument. People will even ask you where they can get one because they are so impressive being so small, convenient, and quick to use. Tuning is easy. To go from one note to the next is very fast, almost instant so it takes less time to tune up. Snark has the transpose feature for perfect tuning with capo in place.

Review: Best Tuner I've Ever Owned - This is hands-down the best tuner I've *ever* owned. The Snark SN8 works extremely well, and being chromatic, works on every stringed instrument I own (guitar, bass, banjo, violin) no matter what key the instrument is tuned to. I still use my Korg Pitchblack inline with my bass (also a very nice product), but that is mainly to get more cord length across the stage and still keep my signal strong. This little baby is amazingly easy to use, and always accurate. It has a nice bright easy to read display in any lighting situation and makes tuning a breeze and not a hassle (just as it should be - I've personally always hated those Boss pedal tuners). It simply does its job and does it very well. Also, buying this item from desertcart saved me quite a bit over the local Guitar Center, which is always a big plus. It feels tough too, this thing feels like it can easily handle the rigors of being tossed around, which is a very good thing. Despite the flimsy way the seller packaged this for shipping, the product arrived intact, and fast. I would have cropped a star for a damaged product in that little wimpy envelope they sent it in. Fortunately mine arrived in perfect condition (no thanks to that paper envelope - seriously, they should use a stiff cardboard envelope or small tube or something). I could not be happier, at least until I buy another one to keep at the house while the first stays in my gig bag.
Review: Reliable and Accurate - The BEST! I bought this on a recommendation from a friend in Indianapolis who is a guitar player in a band. He said, for the money, this was the best tuner to get. I bought it for my husband as a stocking stuffer, and to quote him, "If I had a room of guitars, I would have a Snark on each one." Easy to use. Quite reliable and accurate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i want to hear from violin players.   Is it reliable?**
A: Yes it's reliable and attaches to the scroll very well.  The problem with all Snarks (I own about half a dozen for various instruments) is that the little stalk swivel system is fragile. There is a stalk with a ball on each end, inserting into a socket on the back of the tuner and on the top of the attachment clip.  Either one of these sockets have little plastic tabs that can be broken pretty easily if you are rough with them.Of the two socket joints, and the one on the back of the tuner itself is the one that tends to break easiest. Aside from that, the tuner will read chords if your double-stops are accurate, and reads fast enough to check your intonation while playing, at least on slower tunes.

**Q: What is the difference between the SN-8 and SN-2 tuner?**
A: sn-1 guitar & bass , sn-2 all instrument , sn-5 guitar bass & viloin , sn -6 ukelele tuner , sn - 8 all instrument tuner with tighter grip

**Q: is sn-8 or sn-2 better?**
A: The SN-8 is supposed to be brighter, easier to read and faster.  I don't know if that's true or not.  I bought it for my 13 year old son, a beginner guitar player and he was able to tune his guitar with no problem, so it easily met his needs.  Snark brand was recommended by his teacher.  I actually looked at the SN-2 but, at the time is wasn't available through Prime and the SN-8 was, so I bought it.

**Q: does this tune a trombone**
A: I agree with the other answers. I am a stringed-instrument player (violin, mandolin, octave mandolin, banjo) and the snark works on all of these. Since it operates by detecting vibrations, anywhere that you can clip it on to the instrument where you can see it while you tune should work just fine. On a trombone I would think that the lip of the bell would be a good location.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works
*by T***K on December 31, 2025*

This is a good tuner. After ordering two Snark tuners from two different sellers that specifically said you could replace the 2032 babattery But they sent the Snark Rechargable. I specifically wanted to be able to change the battery. I dont know if they still make the Snark that you can change the battery or not. If you specifically definitely must have look else where. Snark SN Super Tight is a good tuner. Will it last fifteen like my old one that's still working? I do not know.
