 Snark-2 versus Snark-6 Sep 28, 2011
By coolreviewer1
"coolkayaker1"
I own several tuners, and two Snark-2 tuners, which are great (except they're not low profile like the Korg Pitchclip Chromatic Clip On Guitar Tuner - Korg PC-1--please see my review of that tuner).
So, since I needed another tuner for my ukulele, I ordered this time a Snark-6. This one says, specifically, for a ukulele. I wanted to try it compared to the Snark-2 Snark SN-2 All Instrument Clip-On Chromatic Tuner
The Snark-6 and Snark-2 are identical, except for color. The Uke tuner here is gloss black, and the Snark-2 is matte red. Otherwise, the size of the dial/face, the clip itself is precisely the same. So, there's nothing more ukulele relevant about the 6 versus the 2. The tuning is chromatic, so it's good for any specific instrument (mandolin, guitar, uke, banjo, etc.).
So, choose whichever color you prefer, and go for it. Sweet tuner. Superb graphics on the dial, colorful accurate, and inexpensive (but not "cheap" build, like the Korg). Highly recommended tuner.

Great value, easy to use! Oct 05, 2011
By Brandie
As a beginner to the ukulele (and someone who doesn't have an ear for knowing when something is in tune) I knew I would need a tuner. I chose the Snark SN-6 Ukulele Tuner based on price and positive Amazon review. I have to say I'm not disappointed at all.
Positives- Great price. Great value. Extremely handy to have. Easy to use. A must for a beginner or anyone who doesn't have the ear for knowing when something is in tune.
Negatives- The battery it came with didn't seem to last long at all. I'm not sure if it was a faulty battery, a cheap battery, or if possibly I left it on too long or left it on accidentally after putting it way and drained the battery.
Recommendations- Buy a couple of extra batteries just in case. It uses one CR2032 3 volt battery. The price of the battery seems to vary quite a bit depending on brand and where you buy them from but at most they're $2 each.

Great little Uke Tuner! Jul 10, 2011
By Johnny the K.
"1 Jn 4.20"
All I wanted was a good, well priced tuner for my ukulele. Nothing fancy, just a good tuner. My other tuner (a musedo) would be all over the place at times when I was trying to use it and I no longer really trusted it. I checked out all the other tuners on Amazon (read the reviews, pros & cons, etc...) and decided to go with the Snark SN-1 since I saw that other people tuned their ukes with the Snark. Then I saw the Snark Ukulele SN-6 tuner. There were no reviews on it at the time but because of the other positive reviews on other Snark products, I thought I give it a try. I'm glad I did! It's small, solid and accurate!
It grips on the uke headstock well; it doesn't interfer with the tuning knobs; has a clear, well lit display; responds accurately to any note (not just GCEA); and it's a great price!
The only downside (if you want to call it that) is that it doesn't fold up flat against the headstock so you may have to remove it when you put your uke in it's case.
Buy it, you won't be sorry!

Perfect Tuner at Perfect Price Jul 03, 2011
By D. Bell
Works by vibration and does a perfect job. I don't have to worry about others making noise while tuning. I usually leave it on ukulele and forget it's there--almost weightless. Takes 3 volt watch battery--I never leave it turned on after tuning to conserve charge. I now have three--one for each of my ukes I keep in the gig bag. I wouldn't go with any other tuner at this point.

Magnificent for the Price Apr 07, 2012
By G. BARTO
I'm new to the ukelele, and I'm terrible at it. But the hardest part for me was getting the ukelele in tune so that at least the strings would be right, even if my fingering was wrong. Five minutes after opening the box, my ukelele playing sounded 10 times better, even if it hadn't actually improved one bit, just because this makes it so easy to make sure the strings are exactly in tune.
For those who are also new to the ukelele and to tuning stringed instruments, all you do is pop in the battery, clamp this thing to the end of the ukelele, strum a string and see what is says. In the middle of the dial, it tells you what note you're playing. The band of lights around the edge tells you whether you're a little high or a little low. If you're high, loosen the string a little, strum again and see. If you're low, tighten the string a little, strum again and see.
What I saw the first time I used this was that while my strings were tuned to each other, they were all about an eight of a tone low. I'm not sure if that's my hearing, or if my piano needs tuning too. But once I adjusted the strings according to the tuner, my chords sounded brighter and resonated better and all I needed to do to make that happen was to follow the tuner's amazingly easy to understand guidance.
People doing studio work or playing concerts may need something more, but if you're just an amateur and you sense that something is just a little off but you're not sure where, make the investment in this little tuner. For price and ease of use it can't be beat.
