Fender FCT-12

Description and review

The Fender FCT-12 is a clip-on chromatic tuner produced by Fender. It has a number of functions which range from Bass guitar, Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo, and even simply chromatic so that you may tune the instrument as you require. It is an invaluable piece of equipment for any stringed-instrument musician and is particularly exceptional in that it is clip-on and thus doesn't require silence in the area whilst it is being tuned as it works on vibrations. Furthermore, you can adjust the key of the desired tuning by adjusting the hertz with the Pitch button located on the back. This particular version of Fender's tuners runs on one CR2032 battery and said battery will last possibly months due to the short period of time that the tuner is required to be switched on per usage. There are only two buttons on the device and they are clearly labelled as to what they do. The clip-on hinge can be adjusted 360 degrees and also in and out so that it is easy to see when being used on any instrument. This is another of my personal musical arsenal and another device I would highly recommend to any beginner guitarist or indeed more advanced musicians simply due to its ease of use and assistance in achieving perfection in terms of the tuning of your instrument. If bought in a store as opposed to online, this will usually cost you around £10 more or less.
