CAPO-TAILORED TUNING TECHNOLOGIES
When using a capo, the clip-on tuner receives the reduced sound waveform by the capo. But now Grabtune immediately detects and analyzes the tuning vibration at the capo location. This enables fast and accurate tuning. The combination of capo and tuner gives us the best tuning position. In addition, Grabtune has a capo-tailored sensor enabling more precise tuning.

I'll be buying one for each guitar.As a cappo, it's right. It feels quality - some heft to it. Good spring tension. Good protection for the neck and fingerboard. Not a cheap plastic cappo feel. The size is perfect.I can tell this was designed by a musician who wanted one of these. Not someone looking for a quick buck. I kind of expected a mediocre tuner paired with a cheap cappo. Instead I got a good tuner on a good cappo. And they feel like they belong together.I've given it a couple pretty hard drops, and still going strong. It seems a slippery compared to my other cappos.Probably 2 weeks of use now. I play an hour a day or so. I'm still on the initial charge. Honestly doesn't take much to do a quick tune up and turn it back off. Maybe a full minute, if you're being really picky?As a tuner, I've compared to other tuners, and it is spot on. As good as any other on the market. I own several from different price ranges.Almost always when changing the key, I make some minor tuning adjustments. Usually after striking the first chord with a cringe...With this, I can flip this on as I'm moving it to a new fret, take 15 seconds or so to check and adjust, power it off, and be into my song before anyone really knows what just happened. Much smoother transitions. It is like all of my guitars having the usefulness of an on-board tuner. Love it!The only thing I would change is maybe rubberize it for grip. I'll end up adding a sticker or something to mine for grip, just to help me keep from launching it across the room. Being careful would produce the same results...To be clear, for the initial tuning after a string change or when buying a new guitar, I'll use a clip-on tuner just for legibility. For daily tuning, though, and adjusting on the fly, the color system for sharp and flat is perfect. The notes are written way to small for me to read at a glance, but you really don't need to read it. Honestly he could leave the note names off and I would be just as happy with it.Just FYI. I'm an acoustic player running mostly 11-52 strings. I do have 12-54's on my dread. Works fine with either.Great product. Glad I got a couple before he raises the price.

The tuner is intuitive and easy to use, although not quite as much so as a tuner with a more continuous display, of course. I have a black model and depending on the lighting, the letters on the surface are indeed a bit hard to read if viewed at an angle but it's not generally a problem if you're looking straight down on them as when in a normal capo position. It's just that the surface is shiny (and nice looking) but this hurts readability. Those letters are much harder to read when the capo is clipped on the headstock at an angle away from you, but there are also letters on the lights, so once it lights up you can see which letter it is, even when tuning in the dark! The lights are also in alphabetical order so you can tell just by counting (D=4, F=6, etc).INITIAL REVIEW: The capo is disappointing, however. I got this for a steel string guitar and noticed it doesn't have enough force to hold down the strings. This results in partially muted strings. Works fine for my nylon string guitar but full size steel strings have too much string tension for this capo. It is therefore pretty useless as a capo for a steel string guitar.UPDATE: I took out the spring (in an attempt to find a stiffer one) and when I put it back in, I found the force was now enough for my steel string guitar! I can only assume the spring orientation made a difference and maybe the extra one wrap of spring wire under the trigger-side gave the spring just enough extra force. If you have trouble with too much or too little force, maybe try rotating the spring? I haven't experimented any more so can't say for sure but it appeared to work for me.Generally it's built pretty solidly and looks great. Now that the tension works for my steel string AND nylon, I'd say it's as perfect as I'd want.

As a capo it works fine, as a tuner it works fine. The problem is the letters are so small, I just count the lights. The lights are plenty bright; green for in tune, blue for low, red for high. That all seems straight forward but if you are changing strings and way far away from the tone, two blue lights light up and I end up going back to the old fashioned way to get close then the capo allows me to dial it in. I have better tuners for sure but the combination of capo and tuner saves space and is a nice combo for my knock around guitar. It serves its purpose and I can recommend it for casual use. I wouldn't gig with it.

Simply fantastic. With tech what it is I've long awaited a capo/tuner combo that made sense and worked. Others I've used in the past were either way too big to be comfortable as a capo, or too inaccurate to be a stage tuner. This fits the bill perfectly. Tuner is dead on 440. A bit on the heavy side for ukulele but still functional. Strong spring provides ample tension on steel acoustic strings. High quality construction, although the tuner cavity feels like it will be the point of failure if and when it does break. It already took a decent fall and held up, but I would imagine someone who is rough on their gear finding it a weak point. For me, I think it will last a couple of years in and out of the bag. Feels good in the hand and stays out of the way on the neck. Overall, very pleased.

I really really REALLY wish that it had fit, but classical guitars have a wider neck, and this capo isn't long enough.The tuning was great, and the capo itself was awesome. But it didn't fit, so I had to return it :(

Letters above the LED are a bit difficult to read because of their white colour on top of a shiny background. Other than that this tuner/capo is pretty responsive and easy to figure out. Blue=flat, Red=sharp, Green=in tune. Easy Peasy...didn't need the manual for that. It easily fits the entire width of my PRS S2 which has a Wide Fat neck and width at the nut of 1-21/32" as well as no issues at the 12 fret. Now, if they could only add a simple metronome, it would be perfect!!!
