Product Description
The Intelli IMT-600 Clamp on chromatic tuner is designed to tune electric and acoustic guitars, basses, violins, banjos, mandolins and more without interference from ambient room noise, all without the use of wires, microphones or pickups. Tuning in noisy environments is a easy because the unique, flexible clamp actually "feels" the instrument's vibrational energy instead of relying on sound. And, the swivel allows a perfect view of the back lit display.

Many reviews on this tuner and its brothers have mentioned slowness on acquiring the guitar low E. This video shows how minor (or even non-existent) the issue is if you put the tuner on the side of the headstock closest to the low E.
If you VIEW the video in FULL SCREEN, you can see the digital pointer, and how it moves as the two low E's on a 12-string guitar are tuned up to correct pitch.
Sorry about video quality (Amazon reduces their quality) and the cars in the background (I needed lots of light in the background, and I did not want to bring my guitar out into the snow).
The tuner also worked for a friend's acoustic/electric bass guitar. It took about a second to get the low E (on the bass guitar, remember), but it got it. He was able to tune his bass, and I my 12-string while a piano was playing (we were about 10 feet behind the soundboard of an upright acoustic piano that was also being amplified). Great tuner!!
When the Mode Selector Switch is set to "Chromatic", the tuner allows you to tune to any note, and the display will indicate the note, e.g., "D#". When the Mode Selector Switch is set to "Guitar" or "Violin", the tuner allows you to tune only to those notes that exist on a standard-tuned guitar or violin. E.g., when set to "Guitar", it allows you to tune only to the six standard guitar notes, and will display either "6E", "5A", "4D", "3G", "2B", or "1E". The Mode Selector Switch seems to have no affect on the tuner's performance. (This is a good thing because it works perfectly.)

Of all the accessories likely to enhance the life of a school-based guitar teacher, I'd put this at the top of the list. When it comes to a school concert, with anywhere between 20 and 40 guitars taking the stage simultaneously, any help with tuning 120 - 240 strings is greatly welcome. I favour clip-on tuners as mic-based tuners simply do not work in noisy environments. My experience is that pupils find the Intelli IMT-600 intuitive to use. Moreover, the tuner is robust. It confers upon pupils an independence from the teacher that benefits both. The green back-light is indispensable in poor lighting. Now that more and more pupils are arming themselves with these, we are more likely to push the envelope with works requiring altered tunings. The upheaval to pupils' practice routine which often follows a change of strings is greatly reduced.

The reason to buy a clip-on tuner is because the tuner 'hears' the instrument's vibrations and not the sound of the note. Main advantage? You can tune up accurately even when you're struggling to hear the instrument in a noisy room and they don't pick up stray notes from adjacent instruments.
This is the bst clip-on tuner on the market. I play in a band - four, sometimes five different stringed instruments and I have three of these. Ok, that's a bit anal because they're clip-on and I could get by with one and swop it over but I've kind-of accumulated the three due to mislaying and the slow return by borrowers.
To begin with, it's very easy to calibrate or change to another setting (although I don't know anybody who doesn't leave it at the factory 440 setting) but quite difficult to change it by accident - and I've come across a few which are infuriatingly easy to inadvertently change to another frequency. The screen is bright and readable and it even keeps working when there's not enough battery life left to operate the back-light. The battery, by the way, lasts for a very long time because it'll auto-off if you forget to turn it off.
A couple of my guitar pupils have gone out and bought much more sophisticated and more expensive tuners but they always seem to be fiddly, less easy to read and a lot of them depend on red and green lights which always seem to me to be less accurate. The LCD needle format of this is very sensitive and you can get a reading from the slightest drift off pitch.
Like all vibration-sensing tuners, you quite often have to ping the octave (12th fret) harmonic on the bass E string or it shows the sympathetic B harmonic note on the dial but you get used to that. I find the bass harmonics easier to hear anyway.
I have a couple of pedal-based tuners but I don't use them any more because these Intelli tuners are more accurate although they don't, of course, automatically kill the input when your tuning. I have enough clutter at my feet during a gig so losing a pedal tuner and having one of these clipped to the headstock is fine with me.
Absolutely the best buy in clip-on tuners.
