Good idea ruined by poor design and low quality plastic.
Easy and simple to use. I leave it on the guitar. Simple controls. I see why it is so popular.
But there's a problem. The Snark has a poor design and uses low quality plastic that breaks easily, rendering the tuner useless.
The part that clips on the guitar, has a neck with a ball shaped end. That ball fits into a three pronged receptacle. Those little prongs are cheap plastic that break off easily. If any of them break, then the tuner can not pickup vibrations from the guitar, making the tuner useless.
I was never rough with the tuner, yet it broke. Disappointed that Snark uses cheap, breakable plastic.
