Broke my Intellitouch after 6 years, so I was in the market for a new clip on. After some research and reviews, I bought a Snark.

Cool looking, compact, sturdy and $30. I like it.

A Snark? You'd better make sure it's not actually a Boojum, or you'll softly and suddenly vanish away!

Cool. It looks like a cartoon character. . . I just can't place which one.

Reminds me of something like StrongBad.

It is a COOL "electric blue" with a colored display. It magically turned his guitar into a lyrical intrument in the hands of a vituoso . . .

Seriously, it is fairly unobtrusive sitting on the headstock, is accurate, and cheap. If I didn't already have too many tuners to keep track of, I'd have one too.

When he first told me it was a "Snark", I thought he'd bought a sailboat. I used to sail these as a kid.

I also had a snark a long time ago. They were so much fun, maybe I should get one for my guitar too. :)

Semiseriously, we need an internationally recognized holiday in recognition of the digital tuner. We could have tuner shaped cookies and tuna sandwiches. Look at the friendships that have been kept together, not to mention the bands. Nothing remotely suggests that Al Qaeda uses digital tuners. Look at where THEY are! Digital tuners promote peace and mutual understanding and the common good.
That and $3.50 will get you a mochachino.

I was jammin' with No'eau, and he had his Snark turned on and on the guitar. What a light show - green & red!

I got another one - this time for $8.50. $30? What was I thinking; the cost of imperfect information. If they don't break in a month, it's a good deal; I like mine much better than my intellitouch

If you order from Amazon, make sure you DON'T order the ones from Brook Mays Music; they are neither filling the orders nor responding to e-mails as to WHY they are not filling orders (while still accepting them through Amazon). "Bad seller - no doughnut!"
