Review by Christina M. for Cherub WMT-555C Tuner and Metronome with Pickup Rating: I'd love this if it hadn't broke after my second time using it. I replaced it with a "Tune Tech" TT-500 and love that one.

Review by Juan Pablo Jaruf for Cherub WMT-555C Tuner and Metronome with Pickup Rating: I bought this item and in a matter of 3 days had it in my house, so it was a pretty good delivery coming from NY to UT, which usually takes a long time. The tuner is VERY slow, it keeps showing a tunning light even if you just finished playing the string for like 2 seconds. But, beyond that, if you have patience, which I had to have since it was the only tuner I had, it works just fine, and...you're not gonna be tunning your guitar everyday I guess.. Unless you get new strings.. OK and the metronome, is what I use the most. it has a lot of modes for different rhythms like 3/4 4/4, as the most common, but more that I haven't used yet. Ah! you can tune you guitar in like 4 or 5 different pitches, which I only used the most common. Oh the microphone isn't very sensitive, so it's way better to use the vibration sensor, which sadly comes with a VERY thin cable, so I have to be very careful, and treat it with a lot of love if I want it to last. For the price it was a good buy. I recommend it if you're a beginner like me.

Review by Philly Mom for Cherub WMT-555C Tuner and Metronome with Pickup Rating: We purchased this item when our children began to study violin. It seemed convenient to have a device that combined the tuner function and the metronome function. Initially, the tuner and metronome functions performed as described; however, very shortly after we started using the device, it began to exhibit a variety of problems. In particular, it would refuse to go on, or when turned on, its display was populated with nonsense (basically, all of the LCD elements were on at once), and you could not put it into either tuner or metronome mode. Inserting fresh batteries might revive it for a few days, but then it would start to fail again. It has only been perhaps six months, and the device now fails to work entirely. Would recommend trying a different brand.

Review by B. Ben for Cherub WMT-555C Tuner and Metronome with Pickup Rating: I was just reading the reviews of the product because I want to get another one for a friend, and there was a bad review from the kid's mother, that kid was learning to play violin. I guess I didn't work for them because he's just a kid and not a musician, (probably he didn't know how to use it and he broke it) I'm a music student and I use it EVERY DAY over and over, and nothing had happened to it for the 8 months that I've been using it. I tried other known brands as korg, boose a I couldn't find the options that this little device can offer. this thing was made for combat.
