Wind Instrument Tuners

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

These are the easiest tuners to use and you can beat the price.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

Fine instrument, does what it should do and more. I recommend it.

...so far anyway! I own 3 Ibanez bass guitars, 1405e , tbt705 and tbt706. I always found other tuners (snark in particular) fail to pick up low B. I had to use harmonic at 12 fret to tune my B string with all other tuners. Not anymore! This Tunano tuner picks it up right away. Its small, unobtrusive, very responsive, no moving parts to fail. Great design concept. Very happy bass player!

Wind bad, this good. Keep wind out.

Purchased 2 snark tuners, one for my granddaughter who is learning guitar and one for me so I have an extra one. They are the best! Easy to use and a good price. Highly recommended.

I love these snark tuners, they work great and for an old rocker like me they really save time compared to how how I had to tune my guitars 60 years ago, the Snark is a great product and B&H offered a great price and quick delivery. I will be doing more business with B&H again.

I have used several brands and styles of clip-on tuners and this one is by far my favorite! Very compact and accurate. It can be used, clipped above or below the head stock because the readout rotates 180 with the press of a button.

Installed for a client. Worked excellent. The new Vizio TVs are not coming with Tuners and this device, although mainly for projectors, allowed me to use it and then split the HDMI signal to two TVs. The confusing thing about it is when you see the setup screen, but the remote doesn't work. You have to plug the sender extension into the IR port. 2nd time up the ladder, worked great. I would recommend.
