The tuner uses 1 CR2032 (3 volt) battery. Damping the strings before tuning gives you a faster and more accurate result. Then strike the next string you want to tune. TUNING TIP: Before tuning a string, cover all the strings with one extended finger to damp the vibrations. You are in tune if the green needle (at center of meter) is lit, but no yellow needles are lit.Īs the Snark is chromatic, you can easily deal with non-standard tunings. If any yellow needles are lit, it means the note played is sharp. If only red needles are lit, it means the note played is flat. The left side of the display (red) indicates flat, the right of the display (yellow) indicates sharp. As soon as you play a note, the Snark's color display will indicate the note you are playing and how close to pitch you are. The Snark is now ready to help you tune your instrument. Pressing the power switch on the front of the tuner resets the tuner to A-440Hz. ![]() The pitch reference can be set anywhere from 415 – 466Hz. To set the Snark to another tuning reference, push the "PITCH CAL" button on the back of the tuner and immediately press either the up or down triangular buttons to choose a new tuning reference. The Snark defaults to the tuning reference of A-440Hz. Once you have attached the Snark to your instrument or music stand, turn it on by pressing the power switch on the face of the tuner. Also, the tuner body rotates 360 degrees so the display can be placed right where you want it. Do not attach the tuner to your instrument if any of the rubber pads are broken or missing.Īttach the clamp to the headstock (placing the body of the tuner either in front of or behind the headstock).Īfter attaching the tuner to your instrument, adjust the "banana" shaped arm that connects the tuner to the clamp for optimum viewing of the tuner display. Take care to avoid damaging the finish of your instrument. Use the clamp to attach the Snark to your instrument. Please do not leave the Snark attached to your instrument if your instrument will be sitting in direct sunlight. ![]() ![]() We recommend using the Snark SN-10 pedal tuner instead of the Snark clip on tuners for these guitars and finishes. SNARK advises NOT to use its tuner with any instruments having these types of finishes: Nitrocellulose Lacquer or Gibson® guitars, unless you accept the risk of dents to the headstock. We recommend you remove the Snark tuner from your instrument as soon as you finish tuning.
