Editor's Choice - Our Favorite Classical Guitar Tuner

1. Roadie Automatic Guitar Tuner RD200 Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"Other than that, I am pleased with it."

My faithful old Fender PT-10 finally gave it up. East to read digital readout and very user friendly. However, now that I have learned how to work this tuner I wouldn't let it go. Makes iPhone tuning apps perform way better. I use alternate tunings almost exclusively, so this thing gets a lot of use.

2. NIUBIER 10766423 Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"I play guitar and love this product."

It can be as noisy as you can imagine around me and I can still tune accurately. When only one is showing, you are not quite in tune yet. In short - this is a fantastic product, with only positive features. I was almost at the point of sending it back. I use alternate tunings almost exclusively, so this thing gets a lot of use.

4. ChordBuddy CB-BOX-WT Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"Save your money and get this one!"

This is the only chromatic tuner I have used, but I'm very happy with it. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for this exact solution. The clip is strong and I like the brightness of the screen. I've used this in all my practices and shows for 2 1/2 years and it's awesome! It has other settings for Violin, Bass and Chromatic tuning as well.

5. Aroma AT-103 Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"I would recommend this tuner to anyone."

It handles all of the strings with no problem. This is a great tuner, especially for the money. Pedal sizing is very similar to every Aroma or MXR full-sized pedal you've ever used. The display is bright, large and easy to read. Not that Aromas are bad - I have like four of them.

6. Crescendo ZenStrobe Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"Get one and you'll use it constantly!"

I'd totally recommend this to anyone needing a tuner. While it did mute when the pedal was pressed, what good is that if I can't even tell. Crescendo are the best for my Gretsch always stays in tune. Purchased it for my son to use with his bass and he loves it. It is also very stable, not bouncing around.

7. ChordBuddy CB-TP Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"I'm happy with it."

Battery life is fine and the product is feature laden with an easy to read display. The ChordBuddy Guitar Tuner works great. It can be mic'd or use your instrument's vibration. I purchased this product a while ago and It still works great! Not a big deal, unless you want to compare to other pedals.

8. Roadie RD250 Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"Always a nice bonus in my book."

You wont have that size screwdriver at a gig, so use a coin. The Roadie Guitar Tuner works great. I've used it for several gigs and had no problems. They lock well, look great and adjustments are great with the 19:1 turning ratio. Great used pedal, these things are workhorses.

9. ChordBuddy Lefty Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"Not sure the output on these."

I bought this to replace a previous tuner pedal that died. This is way faster than individually checking each string. This means the instrument can be tuned in a noisy room without a problem. To get around to the pitch, it is there NOW. The entire thing is made of metal, so it feels very substantial as well.

10. Tbest F-5T Classical Guitar Tuner

Editor's Impressions

"I play guitar and love this product."

I've only used it a couple times, and I have to say I am impressed! If you're a bass player in Eb, and you drop-D, the Tbest will read out DADG. In short - this is a fantastic product, with only positive features. Super fast response to guitar/bass signal. The entire thing is made of metal, so it feels very substantial as well.
