Clip (vibration) tuning means that the tuner is clipped to the instrument and picks up vibrations from the instrument to help you tune. It works well in noisy environments. Mic tuning means that the tuner has a small microphone in it and will pick up the sound waves from the air to help you tune. If you have an instrument that doesn't have a good place to clip a tuner (i.e., autoharp, dulcimer, some fiddles), then this would be a good choice for you. These do not work well in noisy environments because they will pick up all sound from the room.
All chromatic tuners will tune any instrument in chromatic mode. If you choose to tune in a mode other than chromatic, the tuner will only pick up frequencies that correspond to the instrument mode you have chosen.
Many tuners have a calibration mode that allows you to tune in something other than standard (A=440). If you are worried about understanding a bunch of different features, I would encourage you to choose the Tune Tech One Touch TT1 Tuner. It has no special features at all and is very easy to use.
All of the tuners featured on this page use the
3V 2032 battery, which can be purchased from us or from any store that carries button batteries.
