D'addario PW-CT-17RD Eclipse Tuner, Red

There are few accessories more essential than a decent tuner, and the D'Addario PW-CT-17RD Eclipse Tuner in Red proves you don't need to spend a fortune to get something quick, accurate and easy to use. Clip it onto your headstock, tune up and get back to the important bit – actually playing.

The Eclipse is a chromatic clip-on tuner, using the vibrations from your instrument to detect pitch. That makes it particularly handy in noisy rehearsal rooms and backstage environments, where relying on a microphone-based tuner can quickly become a guessing game.

Its bright full-colour vertical display makes tuning easy to read at a glance, while the clever multi-swivel design lets you position the screen at practically any viewing angle. It can be mounted on the front or rear of the headstock and works equally well with right- and left-handed instruments.

You can also adjust the reference pitch from 430Hz to 450Hz, making it useful when you're playing with ensembles or instruments using something other than standard A=440Hz. An automatic power-off function helps preserve battery life, and a CR2032 battery is included, so it's ready to go straight out of the box.

And, naturally, this one's Red. Because if you're going to leave a tuner permanently clipped to the headstock, it might as well have a bit of personality.

At Musicmaker, this is exactly the kind of little accessory we'd recommend throwing into every gig bag. Simple, accurate, affordable and dependable – the D'Addario Eclipse does its job without making a song and dance about it.
