Rotosound just released their new Digital Clip-On Tuner and Metronome Tuner designed to be used with a range of stringed instruments including the guitar, bass, ukulele, violin and viola. These tuners are intuitive to use and work by simply clipping the unit on your instrument, where it can pick up the sting vibration. When the note is played the digital tuner displays it and indicates how close you are to having that note in tune helping you accurately get perfect pitch every time.
I recently received an AT350 Clip-On Tuner and a AMT530M Clip-ON Metronome Tuner for to review.
What’s in the box …
-
- (1) – Tuner
- Tuner: Chromatic, Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Violin.
- Pitch Range: 430-450Hz.
- Tuning Mode: Picks up vibration from instrument, just clip it to the instrument.
- Metronome Tempo Range: 30bpm – 260bpm. On AMT530 unit only.
- The metronome has 9 different rhythm settings.
- The metronome audio is little squelchy and annoying for me.
- (1) – Battery
- (2) – Owner’s Manual
The first thing I noticed about the tuners is how small they are. The clip is about as long as the display at about 2 inches. The AMT350 is just a tuner, whereas the AMT530 also has a built-in metronome. The clips are lined with rubber material as to not scratch your instrument. All of the function buttons are located on the front of the the display. When in use the display illuminates for easy viewing.

The Verdict
The Rotosound is worth getting if your looking for a tuner that is accurate and convenient to use. Overall, the tuners perform as they are advertised and for around $20, I think that they are worth it.
