Zoid Z-1000 Clip-On Tuner by Sabine. All the convenience of a clip-on tuner, but this one has that rock-solid Sabine tuning algorithm. Just clip it on to your instrument, and the Zoid instantly displays the note you play. The bright two-color LCD and the high-resolution needle combine to tell you exactly where your note is, and the LCD fires bright green when you are in-tune.Tune with the clip that transfers the note directly to the tuner - great for noisy rooms. Or tune with the built-in mic if you want to share the tuner.Sabine's well-known accuracy gives you confidence in your tuning, and the Zoid lets you tune amazingly fast. This is not a toy - this is a truly professional instrument tuner, backed by Sabine's two-year warranty and unmatched customer service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and "mic" option is a big plus, May 19, 2009

The Sabine Zoid is much easier to read and use than my Intelli clip-on tuner was (that one only lasted four month before having a seizure). The Zoid's LCD meter is more stable and I like the red-to-green indicator. Very quick tuning... it picks up on open strings instantly; no need for 12th fret harmonics as with the Intelli. The mic option is a great feature; I can leave the Zoid clipped to my music stand, unless I need to take it along somewhere, and it works just as well with the mic as when clipped on. I was afraid it would be too big, but its no more obstrusive than the Intelli. There's no sympathetic buzzing like the Intelli did either. Its been going on the original battery for well over a year too.

The seller, Musical Instrument Haven, mailed it immediately. I ordered on Thursday and had it on Monday...and no shipping charge! Great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the Intelli!, September 17, 2009

Back in 2007, I wrote a glowing review of the Intelli IMT500 Backlit Clip Style Tuner. I stand by that review. The Intelli is vastly superior to the Intellitouch PT1 Tuner and one need only go to local jams or picking parties to see how the Intelli and rebranded Intellis have taken over. I've purchased a half-dozen of the Intellis so that I'd have one in each of my regularly used cases. I have not had a chance to try the Intellitouch PT10 Mini Clip-on Chromatic Tuner, but it looks so similar to the Intelli that it's hard not to conclude that Intellitouch had to introduce it to remain viable.

Recently a friend let me try his Zoid. I found that the color changing display was such a helpful aid in tuning that I went out and bought three--one for my most frequently used guitar, one for my practice area, and one for my music partner.

Back in 2007 and up 'till now, the Intelli was a "must have" even (especially?) if one owned an Intellitouch. The Zoid is not like that, that is, I'm not recommending that one replace every Intelli with a Zoid, but if one has neither, I'd give the nod to the Zoid.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's easy and I am a moron, December 19, 2008

I just used this tuner for the first time and it's easy and fast and all that good stuff, and I'm pretty far from a trained musician. Actually I'm pretty far from a musician of any kind. I don't know about scales and arpeggios and whatnot but I do know that right out of the box, first stab at it, I tuned my bass guitar in about two minutes. It would've been much quicker but the bass was so horribly out of tune :)

So yeah this was exactly what I wanted in this type of product. I've never used any other kind of tuner but I can't imagine what could be improved.
