Cherub WST-551C Orig-Tune Clip-On Tuner - Rechargeable | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Cherub WST-551C Orig-Tune Clip-On Tuner represents the latest evolution in digital tuning technology from the company that pioneered the clip-on tuner format in 2005. This compact, rechargeable tuner delivers high-precision chromatic tuning with ±1 cent accuracy through an ultra-bright LED display that remains visible in any lighting condition. Ideal for guitarists, bassists, and orchestral musicians of all skill levels, the WST-551C combines essential tuning functions with user-friendly operation for effortless daily use.
Product Overview
The WST-551C features a minimalist two-button design that eliminates complexity while providing complete tuning control. The lightweight 20.5-gram construction clips securely to instrument headstocks without adding noticeable weight, while the compact dimensions (53mm × 49mm × 16mm) ensure the tuner stays out of the way during performance. This streamlined approach focuses on what musicians need most: fast, accurate tuning in a portable package that travels easily in any gig bag or case.
At the heart of the WST-551C lies Cherub's latest tuning technology paired with a high-sensitivity piezo sensor that captures vibrations directly from the instrument. This advanced sensor system delivers ultra-responsive tuning across an impressive A0 to C8 range (27.5Hz to 4186.0Hz), accommodating everything from extended-range bass guitars to piccolo and violin harmonics. The chromatic tuning mode recognizes all twelve notes of the musical scale, making this tuner versatile for any stringed instrument.
The bright LED display uses intuitive light indications that clearly show whether notes are sharp, flat, or perfectly in tune, even on dimly lit stages or in dark practice spaces. The built-in USB-C rechargeable battery provides up to 150 minutes of continuous operation and charges quickly between uses, eliminating the ongoing cost and environmental impact of disposable batteries. Adjustable reference pitch accommodates alternate tunings and allows musicians to match ensemble pitch standards from 430Hz to 450Hz with simple one-button control.
