  • Why did I put off buying this kind of tuner for so long?Hands down the best buy for the money.
  • If you knew this guy...the fact that he asked for it specifically would tell you it was an excellent buy and very accurate.
  • Wish it had a backlight but other than that it is an excellent buy for the money
  • Worth buying if you are looking for a simple and easy to use tuner!
  • I just opened it today, and sent the sound signal from my headphone jack in my laptop, directly into the device, using an 1/8 to 1/4 jack converter, as well as a "Y" split that went to my headphones, so I could hear the notes and samples I'd be tuning according to the

  • Precise, easy to use, good build quality, good value for the money
  • The batteries included are cheap ones and I highly recommend replacing them to some good quality batteries to prevent leaks.

Reviews around display (4.71 of 5)

  • Now this one had a nice display but a bigger one would have been better.
  • The display is easy to read, and allows for sufficient tuning.
  • The display is clear and the needle as an indicator provides good feedback when one is in tune.
  • The tuner has a poor display, is extremely finicky and it does not display the octave of the key
  • This newer one has a better display and some additional features.

Reviews around product (4.70 of 5)

  • Very affordable price for a good quality product that works very well.
  • Excellent product, working fine, if u need a tuner buy this one.
  • In all, I think this product is well worth the investment
  • I definitely recommend this product, especially for harpists!
  • A cheap product, but it seems an electronic device with no moving parts, used very rarely and gently, and mostly stored on a shelf should last longer than two years.

  • I am a novice guitar player and this tuner works very well for me
  • Works well but by no means as large a display as I hoped for, other wise it works very well.

Reviews around device (4.14 of 5)

  • Now these devices are so cheap and excellent, the everything in on-key.
  • I chose this model for tuning my guitar because it is chromatic, which means (I guess) that it displays every note, every half step, not just the E A D G B E like some other tuners

Reviews around korg (4.03 of 5)

  • This Korg can not only make tuning an acoustic guitar easy, it also works very well with dulcimers and ukuleles
  • The Korg CA-40 Large Display Auto Chromatic Tuner works great.
  • I'm not sure on how it would perform with bass instruments but it has no issues picking up the low G on my violin
  • This inexpensive Korg tuner is also a chromatic tuner, meaning it still works even if you tune your guitar down to, say, E-flat rather than E tuning
  • The Korg is difficult to see unless the lighting is just right

Reviews around thing (3.86 of 5)

  • I'm not sure on how it would perform with bass instruments but it has no issues picking up the low G on my violin
  • This thing works well and is a little easier to see and less jumpy than my old tuner.
  • This thing is sensitive, accurate, and incredibly easy to use
  • ]That works well for my Les Paul and is far more sensitive ( a good thing ) and is at a good price.
  • No sense making things more complicated (and expensive) than they need to be.

Reviews around tune (3.62 of 5)

  • This is a great tuner, very detailed in it's tuning, and easy to operate.

  • I red that the correct guitar tuning for guitar is 432hz
  • I use it with my classical guitar, picks up on even the high E string no problems

Reviews around background noise (2.85 of 5)

  • I would get a good "E" on the top then go down the strings remembering that the "B" string was flat 1/2 step, and got used to it
  • It show the A A# B B# C C# D... letters, rather the frequencies, very convenient
  • It show the A A# B B# C C# D... letters, rather the frequencies, very convenient
  • The mic has a rough time with background noise - so if you want to play acoustic at a small show

  • I use it for my Bass as well and has been great for tuning every time
