Reviews around light (4.59 of 5)

  • Actually, I consider my own eyesight relatively sub par, and I can read this just fine in reasonable lighting
  • An illuminated dial would make the tuner easier to use in dim stage lighting.
  • Downsides, the display is kind of small and faint--there are three bright little lights that will show you if the note you are playing is spot on or sharp or flat, but that's not always enough.
  • The led lights will glow red when you're out of tune and green when you've got it right
  • The display is easy to read and understand and I definitely find the green light to be most helpful to show when you are in tune

Reviews around buy (4.58 of 5)

  • And I'm not sure about other tuners and how they go, but for the price this is an excellent buy!
  • After using tuner several time, u figure it out and it works great.
  • Definitely worth the buy if you play any guitar and into music.
  • It is a good buy and the little tuner does the job correctly but be patient.
  • One of the pleasant surprises of this tuner is that I can use the microphone to tune basses down to the E string (the B is problematic) without plugging in

Reviews around tune (4.22 of 5)

  • and it makes tuning really fast and easy, great for a beginner
  • Since I am just a beginner so getting the right tuning is so difficult for me
  • (and unfortunately, that means my ear isn't as good as it used to be, because it means that the poor tuning was my ear's fault and not the instrument).
  • The digital display is so easy to use and makes any tuning easy
  • I find the built in mic to be accurate when tuning an acoustic guitar

Reviews around environment (1.00 of 5)

  • Tuning your own instrument in a noisy environment is always a problem, and I think some of the expensive tuners are smarter about picking your instrument out of the mass of people tuning up.
  • but I would have expected the Korg to tune in a somewhat noisy environment like Guitar Toolkit.
  • Even in a noisy environment, the cable picks up the sound of the instrument w/o interference.
  • However, without the cable you might not get 100% accuracy, also if your outside or in a noisy environment, you won't be able to use this feature due to the product picking up noises from around you
