The Peterson stroboclip is supposed to work well in bright outdoor environments. I have one but haven't put it to the test yet. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...B&gclsrc=aw.ds
TC Unitune, bright, fast, accurate
+1 almost as accurate as the Peterson, lighter, smaller and cheaper. Especially if you use the strobe, the accuracy increases.Quote:

I’ve been using the d’addario micro that screws onto the tuning machines so it sits under the headstock. Because it’s shaded by the headstock I find it a lot easier to see than the Snarks in an outdoor setting.
I'm sure you will like it. Oh and the battery lasts like 4 times longer than what you have been using.Quote:

Like them enough that I've purchased extras for other members in my bands. Heard about these from fiddler Earl White. He was talking about how bright they were and I agree.
Thanks, I bought a TC UniTune. I will also try using the D'Addario micro tuner on the backside of the headstock.
Here is a strobo clip inAttachment 194336 sunlight.Attachment 194335
A 440 tuning fork is my back up & what I used before electronic tuners were sold.
I don’t think they make one that clips to the headstock and allows you to tune in a noisy environment.Quote:

I just ordered a Korg piezo clip on mic w/5 foot cable to go into Peterson and /or Turbo pedal tuners but if you want bright, that Turbo tops the charts
If you have a built in piezo pickup, a pedal tuner in the signal chain with your preamp should work well ..
update: the Korg clipon piezo mike needs a healthy signal boost from preamp or volume pedal to get a Peterson or Turbo tuner to recognize the signal. As a steel and electric 6 string player i have a few VPs and preamps laying around, I would imagine some don't...
