Little wonder

This is my new tuner, the Planet Waves NS Micro Headstock model. I've come across many clip-ons, over time, the sensors give way & sensitivity affected. Some become dysfunctional altogether & had to be tossed into the abyss.

The NS MHT is small & can be attached discreetly at the headstock's rear. The only downside here is that it employs a serrated shaft so it's not as nifty as a clip-on with a pincer mechanism. It's therefore clear that this one was designed to be attached & not removed immediately. I'm impressed with the brightness & sensitivity. It's down to a supposedly more superior piezo transducer in there that picks up vibrations more readily when in use. Hopefully the latter will withstand the test of time. In addition to the tuner function, it also has a visual metronome so it virtually 'plays' with you. If you are wondering what the 'NS' stands for- Ned Steinberger. Yeas, it's co-designed with that guy; do you know him? :-)
