2. Clip Adjustment (Optional)
For optimal vibration sensing and a secure fit, the tuner's clip tension can be adjusted if necessary. This is particularly useful if the tuner feels too loose or too tight in your instrument's soundhole.
- Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the screw holding the metal clip in place.
- Gently remove the metal clip.
- Using small pliers, slightly bend the metal clip to increase or decrease its tension. Bend it slightly inwards for a tighter fit, or slightly outwards for a looser fit. Exercise caution to avoid over-bending or damaging the clip.
- Reinsert the metal clip and secure it with the screw.
3. Installation into Soundhole
The tuner is designed to fit discreetly inside the soundhole of most acoustic instruments.
- Hold the tuner by its top mounting hook.
- Carefully slide the tuner into the soundhole, positioning it in the lower bout (typically around the 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock position for optimal viewing).
- Press down gently with your thumb until the non-marring clip secures the tuner firmly to the edge of the soundhole. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.
