  • This is just a warning to verify that you get the best price on the item.
  • Best price found and although shipping was free, I received my item super fast
  • Great tuner for great price... also, easy to use... handles both bass and gutar... highly recommended
  • well at least I try to).If you're looking for a basic tuner at a great price, this is for you.
  • In other words, no B, C, D, F, E sharp, Open A, Open C, Open D, Open F, Cross Note C, Cross Note D, anything that requires you tune a string to C or F.To put a simply, no experimenting, which is pretty much the only reason I can think of to buy a tuner.

Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • Korg has done an excellent job of making tuning your guitar easy
  • It's cheap enough to put one in the case of every instrument you own, and accurate enough to do a better job that you can with your ears alone
  • For this low of a price it does a great job, and I really liked that it could be set to up to 5 semitones flat.
  • I bought this tuner for one reason, so I can tune my guitar to b flat tuning, but when I get this, I figured that it could at least do a better job then my TG Tuner (on computer, for free)

Reviews around tune (4.03 of 5)

  • this product is helpful by using the display to fine tune your guitar but the actual sound tones emitted to get you to match your strings to the sound tone was very annoying and almost impossible to match
  • The tuning is very accurate and can help you tune your guitar in seconds
  • From what I understand it will give you even more accurate tuning.
  • Not only does it do worse (tunes off-key) but you can only tune into standard, (which I can do without a tuner) meaning that you can't tune into anything other then Standard, dropped
  • My only complaint is tuning my guitar when I'm changing strings.

  • To put it simply: this thing works well right out of the box
  • that thing is great, i DID'T get the kong GA-30 which they told me that they replaced it with GA-1 which is way better than the first
  • Needless to say, the thing does not hold it's tune very well
  • He sets this Korg GA-30 on top of a nearby amp and played an unplugged electric near it and the thing worked like a charm, just using built-in mic
