vibrational energy instead of relying on sound. Plus, the swivel allows a perfect view of the backlit display. The best part is that this quality tuner costs a fraction of what other similar tuners cost.

Tune Like a Pro
Whether you are in a nosy environment or a quiet one, the Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner is the right tuner for your musical instrument. This tuner clips onto your instrument headstock and allows you to tune it using the vibrations of your strings. This wireless device is indispensible when you are on the road and warming up in a noisy venue. More sensitive than its predecessors, the IMT500 accurately senses even the vibrations of bass notes on dreadnought sized guitars.

Easy to Use and Read

Place anywhere on the headstock.

Small enough to stick in a pocket, the body of the tuner is about 2.25 inches diagonally. The meter screen itself is square at about 1.25 inches diagonally. The scale is easy to read, and is typical for many electronic tuners and easily understood. It has a calibration feature, which takes it from a 430 to a 449-A reference. It also has a flatting feature for use in tuning with a capo. It doesn't matter where you put the IMT500 on the headstock--just clip it on and pluck a string since it already knows which string you are tuning. The jaws of the clip have soft rubber pads to protect the finish of your instrument.

Vibrations Are the Key
Older clip-on tuners used to have sensitive microphones. Not the IMT500. Unlike tuners that use a built in microphone, the IMT500 doesn’t have any problems with interference from ambient noise. This tuner uses nothing but the vibrations of the plucked string. Everything else is automatic. The vibrations themselves tell the IMT500 what string is being tuned and if it is flat, sharp, or just right. The calibrate button to the right of the display screen is used to tune an instrument to a pitch other than 440 Hz. (440 Hz is the default pitch, which equals C with no flat.)

Saves Time and Money
You'll see Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner at festivals, indie concerts and jam sessions because they are worth their price and more. Less than half the cost of their predecessors, the IMT500 works a whole lot better. The price allows the serious musician to get two--one for practice, and one for the instrument case. Never forget to pack your tuner again.
