I was unsure when I purchased this how it worked and if it would also work for standard (EADGBE) guitars. The problem was that, when I asked desertcart's wonderful AI assistant "Rufus" if it would work on a six-string electric guitar, it answered with -- and this is verbatim: "No, this tuner is specifically designed for cellos and basses." (see image) Can you believe that? Do these companies realize they're using so-called "intelligence" that is driving away sales? It's pretty wild, eh? Anyway, rest assured that if you're looking for a low-cost reliable tuner that you can use for an electric or acoustic six-string guitar, this will do the job and well. Here are some highlights of this tuner: -Color display with fairly bright readout, especially in darker environments -Responsive readout of frequency/tune -I have calibrated this against another known and very accurate tuner and this one is fairly accurate as well. So if you're looking for a decent clip-on tuner and aren't sure if you want to pull the trigger on this, be assured that this will work with guitar. Review: Best I’ve had - Bright easy to read screen, and the scale is clearly graduated to allow precise tuning. It works better than the Fender and Boss units I’ve used in the past. Highly recommended ## Features - EXTREME ACCURACY - The Eclipse Cello, Bass Tuner features an extremely accurate piezo transducer that picks up an instrument's vibration rather than sound. A wide calibration range (430-450Hz) guarantees precise performance. - CELLO TUNER CLIP ON - Features a non-marring, lever-lock clamp that holds the tuner securely to the instrument while allowing easy application and removal. - LCD SCREEN - Tri-color reversible backlit LCD screen makes it easy to tune in dark environments - CLIP ON TUNER FOR - Cellos and Basses. Tune both instruments with confidence, ease and accuracy. - D’ADDARIO ACCESSORIES - For over 20 years, D’Addario Accessories (formerly Planet Waves) has been leading the industry in innovative and problem-solving products that serve musicians worldwide.

Can you tune it with finger picking, or do you have to use a bow?** A: You would clip it onto the bridge of the upright bass. You can use either plucking or bowing techniques. As a bassist, myself, I recommend bowing, specifically while using the 12th fret harmonic, to get the best results. **Q: what setting # is needed to tune a bass?** A: I never see #. I turn it on, clip it onto bridge and tune. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT WORKS FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR! *by N***A on August 29, 2025* I just wanted to come back and let anyone know who isn't sure that this works well for an electric or acoustic 6-string guitar.

Highly recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Use, and Precise. *by E***O on May 27, 2024* You cannot place it close to the instrument, it HAS TO BE ON THE INSTRUMENT. CLIPPED ON. PHYSICAL CONTACT! I press the "on" and read my strings... very easy to use. I don't bother turning it off , it does that by itself. It is so small that I never take it off; it is always on my bridge. Despite the convenient small size, the Screen is Large and in Colour. It is Easy to read. I love it, it is just lovely! ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Eclipse Cello/Bass Tuner, PW-CT-17CBK - Fantastic Finger Guide for Cellos - Music Accessories for String Instruments, Fingerboard and Fretboard Stickers for Learning All Notes, Learn to Play Cello, 4/4 Size - How to Play Cello in 14 Days: Daily Cello Lessons for Beginners—Includes Standard Music Notes + Cello TAB in All Sheet Music Examples (Play Music in 14 Days) --- ## 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.co.za/products/184853433-eclipse-cello-and-bass-tuner-daddario-eclipse-tuners-deliver-quick](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/184853433-eclipse-cello-and-bass-tuner-daddario-eclipse-tuners-deliver-quick) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
