On the wall as of September 25, 2026: 3 clip-on tuners from $24.99 to $34.99, from Fender and D'Addario, and 3 Boss pedal tuners from $109.99 to $169.99, the TU-3 family.

Rechargeable or Coin Cell
Two of the clip-ons on the wall recharge: the D'Addario Eclipse over USB-C for about 24 hours of tuning per charge, and the Fender Flash 2.0 over micro-USB for about 20. The FT-1 Pro runs on a coin cell. A coin cell lasts months and is easy to forget; a rechargeable is easy to leave flat. Neither is wrong.

Tuning and Intonation
A tuner can't fix intonation: if the fretted note at the twelfth fret reads sharp or flat against the open string, the saddle is the fix. On an electric that's part of a standard setup, $79, strings extra. Service is first come, first served.
Where We Are
We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 1902 shirt mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.
The Drive
Ballston Spa is the county seat, a small Victorian village five miles south of Saratoga with a downtown you walk: the courthouse crowd on weekdays, the shops and galleries and antique stores the rest of the time.
About 35 minutes: Route 50 or Route 9 to I-87 north, Exit 18. Park in the Cooper Street lot at The Shirt Factory.
