I prefer sound hole tunes but the soundboard on my Lyn is too thick for the one that I have so I needed a clip on and decided to find a rechargeable one and this came up in my searches. It's a compact unit about the diameter of a 50p coin and about 5 coins high. Despite the size it has a bright colour screen with a green zone at 12 o'clock going amber then red as you get further out of tune, easy to read even with my poor eyesight. The tuner is mounted on a hinge that's attached to a rotating plate so it's viewable from any angle. Seems sturdily constructed as well I compared it with a Snark and it's a little more sensitive to tuning than the Snark but once in tune the pair of them agreed with each other so at worst they're equally inaccurate. Overall I'm happy with it, the equivalent non-rechargeable ones are a little cheaper but the difference is probably only a couple of battery changes in cost but it's a discrete compact unit that does what it's supposed to do. www.daddario.com/products/accessories/tuners/nexxus-360/

This looks like an excellent tuner and I'm a big fan of anything D'addario. Just brilliant that it is rechargeable, I hate buying all those batteries to feed into my Snark and it's surprising just how quickly it gets through them.
My old (red) Snark has been going for as long as I can remember and it battle worn and scarred but still provides extremely accurate tuning. Prior to buying the Snark I had tried out loads of clip on tuners and most were fairly poor but the Snark was a revelation. I am loathe to retire it when it's still working as it should but the D'addario looks like a great option and I think I shall have to buy one.
I recently got my old Boss TU-3 tuner out and spent a bit of time comparing it to the Snark. I found the Boss really too sensitive which makes tuning irritatingly slow and at the end of the day, once I had tuned the guitar with the Snark, the Boss confirmed it was perfectly in tune. The TU-3 is considered to be a really accurate tuner so hats off to Snark.
Thanks for the review, it's just great to be made aware of new guitar-related stuff.
