Snark SN-8(B) Super Tight All Instrument Tuner Review
Bought this Snark SN8 tuner to compliment my other tuners I have; an onboard tuner on my acoustic guitar and Intelli IMT500 clip on.The product is well made and feels solid, the two swivel ball joints allow for any position you'd like.
The display looks great and clip on is sturdy and strong.
Performance wise the tuner displays the sound pitch amazingly quick and with a consistent reading, never wandering around like the IMT500 sometimes can, so on both speed and precision it gets 5 stars.
But on the accuracy side it's a bit lacking.
Even with the tuner indicating a solid green bar, I can have both my onboard tuner and the IMT500 show the pitch being either slightly sharp or flat. Not that there's an offset of sort, but simply that the green bar tolerance is too wide kinda like +/- 5 cents or so. My other tuners are like +/- 3 cents.
So there you have it, for quick tuning and if you don't care about the perfect pitch, the Snark SN8 is all aces. But if you're looking for a high accuracy tuner, the SN8 is not it despite being labeled as "super tight".
For the most accurate tuning use a strobe tuner or other tuner softwware app on iphone/android/mac/pc.
