It seems as though the manufactures have heeded the complaints that folk have had,ĭo you have a picture of the new clamp on the red snark? I still love mine, but the Polytune did look Pretty cool. I only mention this incase anybody's been put off buying a Snark tuner because of any potential damage. This new one has a completely flat,smooth clamp, similar to the Intelli clamp,with nothing to cause damage. The first one i bought,has the 'corrugated' rubber clamp on it,the one which some folks have found to leave a 'footprint' on the finish of their mandolin headstock. I tried everything i could think of to get it back working to no avail. A couple of weeks ago,one of them got permanently 'stuck' on the G note for some reason. I also have 2 Intelli IMT 500 clip ons as well. I've used a Red Snark tuner for around 3 years or so & it's the best tuner i own. I've had good luck so far with the battery life. I also like the durable hinge/clip on the Polytune, although it doesn't swivel which can be inconvenient, but the Polytune will also work upside-down (on the back of the peg-head) :mandosmiley: and the display rotates automatically :cool: to keep up with how it's positioned, kinda nifty feature. A few months ago I made a quick video comparison of Polytune to Korg AW-2 (). I used to use a Korg AW-2 which I thought was noticeably better than my previous Snark (can't remember which model of Snark), but the Polytune is even easier to use than the Korg. The total thickness *including* the clip and extremely-sturdy-looking metal hinge, is about 1" or approx 2.5cm.) (If for some reason the above pics aren't viewable, here are the approximate dimensions: The tuner's face is about 2 5/16" (approx 5.9cm) by about almost 1" (approx 2.4cm). Quick pics of my Polytune next to a stainless-steel ruler, inches at top: My Snarks are slim enough to go inside the compartments of any of my mando.cases with no problems,although i get the impression that the Polytune isn't exactly 'large'.
