Product Description
The Intelli IMT-500 clip 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. The best part is that this amazing quality tuner costs a fraction of what other similar tuners cost.

 GREAT value tuner! July 6, 2008
I bought this for my son last Christmas so he has been using it for seven months now and he still loves it. (He has three years experience playing guitar) Any way, like others have said this tuner picks up the vibration of the string instead of the audio from a microphone like other tuners do. There is no interference from external sources as a result. The tuner is surprisingly small but very easy to read. No regrets with this purchase!
Intelli IMT500 Tuner June 22, 2008
I was very pleased to find this worked on my electric guitar in addition to my acoustic. Extremely easy to use, just clamp it on and turn it on. Tuning is excellent. This is so much easier to use than my old Korg GA30 which required you to plug your electric guitar into the tuner or hold it in front of your acoustic.
 Intelli IMT500 May 7, 2008
In 20+ years of playing I have never used a tuner and so I was a little concerned about buying this as I had thought I would go for an in-line floor tuner. The situation was that this was readily available to me and so I thought I would give it a go. I am not sorry I did either. I was on tour in the UK and found this very helpful. There are a couple of concerns - already mentioned in previous reviews - the bottom E doesn't always give a reading but this is easily overcome with harmonic of said string. The A seemed to give me a reading of E even though it was an A - didn't find this a problem once I knew what it was doing. I guess I am a little concerned about the robustness of it on regular touring.
I found it responsive and easy to read in dimmed light. I use different tunings and found this, together with my ear, an invaluable device especially for that F# in an open D tuning. Overall, on stage it made for quicker retunings and offered me that little extra confidence that I was on mark. I have not used it to record and so cannot say how it fairs across instruments and sessions. However, on stage it proved its worth and I will be using it as regular as I play.
It is definitely worth trying - especially for the price.
 Poor on low notes April 22, 2008
Did not do a good job of picking up low notes. When tuning you had to wait until the note stopped completely before trying again:
Returned item for a refund.
Great Tuner March 21, 2008
This is my first digital tuner. It works great and does an excellent job tuning in a loud and noisy room with other guitars.
Some owners have complained about the tuner not accurately representing the (5th and 6th) A & E strings when tuning on an open strings. The method to overcome this problem is to us the 12th fret harmonic when tuning. I've performed this on all tuning occasions using the open cord to get close and using the 12th fret harmonic for more precise tuning. When doing this it overcomes the problem with the open cord and gives you a more accurate tune lower on the neck of the guitar.
