Overall excellent tuner. I was easily able to connect to Peterson to download a sweetener that was not included in the stock unit and it works great. The only downside to the tuner (hence 4 stars instead of 5) is the fact that the tuner can't display cents digitally like the phone app does. Please make that available as a firmware update!

Perfect, just like every other Peterson tuner I’ve owned.
The only thing I really miss is having more clip options besides the chunky “fat” clip and the violin clip. The existing clips are clearly designed for guitar-type instruments and violins, not for a more complex, unconventional instrument. A slimmer clip would help a lot, or some sort of clip kit with different sizes, extensions, or alternative mounting solutions (something like a permanent screw-mount option) would be amazing.
I use this exclusively on my hurdy-gurdy, and there’s practically nowhere to clip it. The instrument is packed with strings, tuning pegs, knobs, bridges, moving parts and everything else, so any usable edge is either too thick, too tight, or awkwardly placed. I honestly wouldn’t mind mounting it permanently somewhere, but with the two existing clip styles, neither one fits well enough to make that practical.
That said, once it’s on there, it’s fantastic: super accurate, stable, and easy to read, and it ...

Absolutely the best clip-on, rechargeable tuner. Nothing even comes close.
This is my fourth Peterson tuner. 3 clip-ons, one pedal tuner.
Definitely the most accurate tuner on the market in my experience. Yes, I have a few other brands.
Love the Strobe display — always bright.
The library of sweetened tunings is key as I almost always am in a sweetened tuning.
My only complaint: the plastic screen on the HD and HDC is too soft. Please offer a screen protector that would easily fix this issue. Every player I know leaves their tuner on the headstock when putting the guitar in its case. The tuner can easily get rotated to where the guitar’s tuners end up creasing the very soft plastic display. No heavy player that I know is going to take the time to put the tuner in its separate case. It’s a tool that should be easily adaptable to real life.

Love this. Great clip and size. I do wish it rotated left/right, rather than having to move the clip. But great value, good features, and best tuning available.

The Stroboclip HDC is a very useful instrument to tune my guitars (acoustic, electric and e-bass). Unfortunately mine stopped working and I asked Peterson for help. I was connected to John Norris who worked hard to help me solve the problem. The moment it was clear I couldn't fix the Stroboclip, John offered me to send a new Stroboclip and within a week I received a brand-new device. Excellent service!
