About KLIQ

KLIQ Music Gear was started by a group of working New York City musicians who wanted a better clip-on tuner than what was already on the market, and the company has stayed musician-owned and operated since. Its catalogue at kliqmusicgear.com has grown from that original tuner into a full lineup of "serious accessories for musicians, by musicians" — clip-on and rechargeable tuners, digital metronomes, a combined tuner/metronome/tone-generator unit, noise-reducing instrument cables, cushioned AirCell straps, and a guitar capo.

The flagship KLIQ UberTuner clips onto any headstock and reads guitar, bass, violin, ukulele, and more through a highly sensitive piezo sensor with five tuning modes and adjustable calibration from 430 to 450 Hz, backed by a 3-year warranty with a money-back guarantee. It's been reviewed on-air by Premier Guitar, which called it one of the fastest and most accurate clip-ons the reviewer had owned, and it's built a large base of owner ratings on Amazon for its speed, accuracy, and bright, easy-to-read display.

Why we recognized KLIQ

The House of Octave Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose gear consistently stands out in our player-tested category guides. KLIQ earned it on the strength of the products below, judged the same way every product on this site is: assessed on build, tone, and playability, weighed against what players actually report over years of use, and ranked on merit.

KLIQ gear we rated highly

KLIQ UberTuner Clip-On Guitar Tuner
Top Pick 2026

KLIQ UberTuner Clip-On Guitar Tuner

The clip-on serious players reach for when they want more precision than a basic budget tuner — a fast, sensitive processing chip locks onto the note almost instantly and holds it steady. A big, high-contrast full-color backlit screen stays readable on a dark stage or in bright sun, and a wide calibration range plus true chromatic mode handles alternate tunings and orchestral pitch standards. Backed by more than fourteen thousand ratings and a long manufacturer warranty.
