Nothing wrong with tuner. But no matter how you adjust it, it will never be on an angle where you can view it. It swivels and tilts but never where you can look at it from a playing position. I wrote Planet Waves (no reply) with a few tweaks of the design it could be great. But unless you can tune your banjo while it’s facing the floor it’s pretty clumsy. **Q: How can you tell when it is in tune from the display I have been putting one blue bar on each side of the middle note is this correct?** A: Yes. Bars to the left, flat. Bars to the right, sharp. Note bracketed (as you are doing) means you’re there. **Q: Can this be laid over the top of a Lyre Harp, maybe held down with thin Velcro straps, to tune across the scales?** A: My best guess is it could work in that application. Because of the way these are designed to simply slide under the brackets on a banjo it is only very lightly in contact with the instrument but I find it works well. What I don't know is the range of notes on a Lyre Harp. Some of these sorts of tuners have limited sensitivity ranges. This one works great on my banjos in their various common tunings but I don't know how well it might work on an instrument with a much wider range of frequencies. You might want to ask the manufacturer about that. **Q: Can this tuner be used quietly while actors are doing dialogue? I'm in a musical and must correct tuning between songs without the audience hearing it** A: It can in some settings. If your volume is turned off by the sound tech and you are far enough away from actors with a mic open. This tuner operates on vibrations and is placed between the rods on your instruments rim. So you don’t need to pluck loudly for it to work. I play with a full worship band and this tuner works great for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Took a month to get it and it was a big disappointment *by D***N on 29 November 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FUNCTIONS VERY WELL EASY TO INSTALL & USE *by K***R on 9 May 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐ Geht so... *by O***I on 10 November 2025* Funktion wie bei anderen Tunern auch. Es lümmelt sich zwischen Spannhaken herum. Es könnte meiner Meinung nach fester sein. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Accessories Micro Banjo Tuner - Multi-color display - Digital Tuner - Non Marring Hoop Bracket - Fast & Accurate Tuning - Visual Metronome - D'Addario NP2B7T8W06 National Brass Finger Pick Bundle - 6 pa - D'Addario EJ55 5-String Banjo Strings, Phosphor Bronze, Medium, 10-23 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/141996265-ns-micro-banjo-tuner](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/141996265-ns-micro-banjo-tuner) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
