Description
The Snark ST-8 RE is the fully rechargeable Super Tight chromatic clip-on tuner in Snark's flagship black finish — the updated and improved version of the best-selling SN-8, now with USB charging so there are no more batteries to swap mid-gig. A single fast charge from any USB port or power bank delivers weeks to months of continuous use, and the faster tuning chip and upgraded high-definition color display deliver Snark's highest accuracy yet. The 360° swivel screen reads clearly at any angle for right- or left-handed players, and the stay-put clip with non-marring rubber pads keeps the tuner securely locked to any headstock or music stand.
The ST-8 RE combines a high-sensitivity vibration sensor with a built-in microphone, letting you tune by contact in a noisy room or by sound for wind, brass, and orchestral instruments. Pitch calibration is fully adjustable from 415 to 466 Hz, with transpose and flat-tuning functions covering baritone, drop, and alternate tunings — the response tracks cleanly even in the low regions of baritone guitars and multi-string basses where less capable tuners tend to hunt. Compact, rugged, and endlessly practical, the ST-8 RE has become one of the most widely used clip-on tuners in the world for good reason.
Note: Snark advises against clipping the tuner directly to instruments with delicate finishes (nitrocellulose lacquer, polyurethane, French polish, or oil finishes) — clip to a strap button or music stand instead if in doubt.
