Snark

Fast, accurate clip-on tuners for every instrument.

About Snark

Snark builds clip-on tuners that musicians actually use. Based in California, they've made fast, accurate tuning accessible to players at every level. Their tuners use high-sensitivity vibration sensors and bright, easy-to-read displays that work on dark stages and in bright rehearsal rooms. The original SN-1 changed the clip-on tuner market when it launched, and Snark has kept refining the design ever since. Their tuners work on guitar, bass, violin, ukulele, and most stringed instruments. They're compact, battery-efficient, and built to stay on your headstock without getting in the way.

Clip-On Tuners

Snark's clip-on tuners use vibration sensing instead of a microphone, so they tune accurately even in noisy environments. Models like the SN-8 Super Tight and the SN-5X offer different display angles and tuning modes. The Super Tight series adds a higher precision mode for players who need tighter intonation. All Snark tuners have a full-color display that rotates 360 degrees, so you can position it however you need. They clip securely to the headstock and stay put during transport. Battery life runs for hours of active use, and the auto-shutoff feature saves power when you're not tuning.

Metronomes and Combo Units

Snark also makes clip-on metronomes and tuner-metronome combos. The SN-M2 metronome clips to your music stand or instrument and gives you a visual beat reference with tempo ranges from 40 to 250 BPM. The combo units let you tune and keep time in one device. These are useful for practice sessions where you need both functions without switching gear. The metronome uses LED lights instead of sound, so you can practice silently or in group settings without adding noise.
