Tuner Shootout! Review of the D'Addario CT-10 Headstock Tuner

Check out the results of some of the recent tuners we have gotten in at our sister blog, The Gaston Guitarist!

These tuners are in stock and for sale now, and make a great addition to your equipment line-up. Our best selling tuner remains the Snark headstock tuners, but as this article discusses they are not good for tight spots (the top part can snap off fairly easy in a gig bag, and especially in your pocket).

Snark Tuners at Gaston Music are only $17.99, but the head can break off fairly easily!



The CT-10 in another tuner that is pocket and gig bag proof - this neat little tuner is quite a bit larger than D'Addario MiniHeadstock model, but even more pocket proof. This tuner flips down for a streamlined, strong shape, and turns on automatically when flipped back up.

The display is also easily reversible with the push of a button, and the tuning function is quite smooth. It is a chromatic tuner, and works just as well on bass and electric acoustic guitars, as well as smaller instruments like Ukuleles and violins.

The color scheme is also neat - out of tune, the screen is an orange and the letter is red. As it gets closer to being in tune, the background will turn green, and when it is in tune the background and the letters both turn green - as you can see from the pictures above, different shades of green.

When it is almost in tune the background turns green but the letters are still red - as it goes further out of tune, the background changes to a reddish orange!

These are great little tuners - they are a bit more expensive than the Snarks, but they are built tough and do an excellent job, and they are for sale right now at Gaston Music & Pawn!
