Snark has introduced a new H.Z Clip on Tuner (RRP £19.99) for electric, acoustic and bass guitars.
The H.Z allows you to get to 1/10th of a Hertz, which the firm claims is more than 10 times more accurate than most other tuners. e!
Until now, musicians have been limited to tuning in ‘half steps’ or semitones – D, D# or E for example, but the H.Z allows you to ‘customise’ your tuning to make individual strings sharper or flatter.
Taking two years to develop, the new software and chip in the H.Z. is also faster (many tuners need to look at 16 or more samples before deciding the note being played – the SNARK H.Z. only needs to look at 8) and it’s also more compact and discreet with a stronger clamp.
