leave clip-on tuner on while performing?

looks more like a paddle, hence the correct title:

For those following along & willing to learn, this is a machine-head paddle:

this is a machine-head capstan:

Ah-Ha, this is what it was making me feel, but I didn't know the words.

Actually, they look like clovers.

Deep Purple ruined me early on for what I call them

I always call 'em the tuning key and the tuner post.

You'll be the envy of all your friends once you start using paddle & capstan.
Don't forget to tell them about kara-okay once they're accustomed to change.

This is all very boat-ey, be you a nautical cove?

I really don’t think anyone really cares.

If your friends aren't willing to learn, they're not really your friends.

That's the spirit:

I always thought that was a car reference?

Kind of looks like a key...that tunes your instrument!

Just like a Drum Key used to Tune a drum but it is not removable.

That’s a key head tuner!

This was originally going to be the album-cover:

I hadn't actually kept up with this thread, I was avoiding the snarky retorts, but decided to read through while I finished watching the Vikings series finalé.

I feel like if your show is boring enough that people are scrutinizing your headstock to see if something’s clipped on, you have a more important problem to solve

They were playing 'Fire on the Mountain' when I tuned in, so you decide.

Seems a bid vain to even worry about this. It's the music that matters.

Yeah, no one reacted when Hendrix set his guitar on fire, because it was the Music that mattered.

If I was performing on the televi-zee-own I would not want that on my instrument.

Are you a fan of The King of Queens?

 

[Lizooki]

I leave mine on.
The clip is formed wire and I have the body of the tuner behind the headstock ..... practically invisible.

Well, at least I'm not the only one distracted by it. To me it's like a ballerina came out in a completely white cotton tutu & there's this large black speck on it. It distracts the viewer from the performance.
I've already wasted too much of my mind on this discussion, & a mind is a terrible thing to taste:

It’s too bad you feel as is you’re wasting your time on this topic. You started the thread.

I love Ministry, but the tutu thing - that is really disturbing.

AKA, It did not go as I wanted it to.

I think Uncle Al wore a tutu when he recorded a cover of Black Sabbath's Supernaut.
He would be proud to have someone say it was 'disturbing':

I'm sure he's dabbled in all sorts of women's wear.

If you are of a mind to appreciate, his autobio is "fun".

I'll make mention, I once saw him on a bill at uni with Koko Taylor and Joe Jackson and also some jangly REM-ish band I can't recall the name of.

EDIT: I think it was Butch Vig's band, Spooner.
