The new Peterson StroboClip is a clip on strobe tuner for all instruments. Brushed aluminum housing with a black and orange virtual 'wheel' display.
This unit was on loan from Peterson for review. Street price is around $70.

The new tuner is very accurate and easy to use in a variety of situations. Powered by a single CR2032 battery, the StroboClip is small, lightweight and designed to be clipped to the headstock, bridge or bell of the instrument being tuned. Because the StroboClip reacts to vibration rather than sound, it’s perfect for tuning in noisy environments – onstage or even in a symphony orchestra, where nearly 100 instrumentalists may be trying to tune at the same time. Its orange and black backlit display is easy to read in dark environments, and it’s sensitive — but not too sensitive, — and accurate to 0.1 cent. Best of all, street price is less than $70, making it supremely affordable for nearly any player.
Accuracy of 0.1 cent in a tuner this small is a great thing, but the thing that really sets the StroboClip apart is the inclusion of 28 “Sweetener” presets that give it the ability to compensate for Eastern temperament and alternate temperaments that allow tuning to be accurate across the entire range of several instruments, not all of which are considered “standard” – sitar, oud and bagpipes, for example. Guitarists will love the drop and capoed tuning presets, and country music players should appreciate special sweetened tunings for Dobros and lap steels. Twelve-string players will certainly have use for having two sets of tunings for their instruments, one for the standard six strings, one for octave strings.

Well built and not plastic like some tuners in this price range.
With a street price of less than $70, the Peterson StroboClip offers musicians of any level access to a highly accurate, portable and adaptable strobe tuner, the first multi-temperament clip-on tuner available. Rugged yet lightweight, the StroboClip also comes with its own metal carrying case, although I suspect most players will simply put it in a case pocket. In our testing, the StroboClip did a first-class job of tuning instruments that previously gave us headaches – mandolin and banjo among them. For a multi-instrumentalist, the StroboClip is a godsend.
