Poll: Tuner types

Thank you everyone, for participating in the above poll.

Many of us own a clip-on tuner for a simple reason- convenience. This plus the user-friendly nature of such a device, make it a pleasant tinkering experience. Many clip-on tuners are also complementary upon an instrument's purchase & this makes it a common tuner-type owned by many of us. 

We note the pedal-type tuner coming in close in terms of ownership. The pedal board toting players among us own this tuner because it makes more sense having one as a board constituent rather than having a separate clip-on unit. Many of us rely on this tuner type for tuning accuracy as well. Keep  in mind that vibration detection-based tuner types do not manifest accurate read out at times, especially those budget models.

maybe pedal type is there as it acts as a buffer for those with monstrous lengths of cabling? who knows

Most of them were not made to function as such. There might be some models, no idea....

Musicians told me that clip on don't do well on stage because it picks up surrounding note vibration too,they trust pedal tuner most time.I guess there's some truth to that.
