Long considered the standard in chromatic tuners, the Korg CA-50 offers simple and intuitive operation and a satisfying tuning experience for every instrumentalist. The LCD screen of the CA-50 has been enlarged to improve visibility, making it even easier to quickly and accurately check your tuning. The wide detection range of the CA-50 allows you to tune band or orchestral instruments of any pitch range using the high sensitivity built-in microphone, or by using the separately sold CM-200 contact microphone. The CA-50 also features a drastically improved battery life, allowing for 135 hours of use. Additional functions like memory backup and auto power-off make the CA-50 the most reliable and fully-featured compact tuner on the market.

    I've used this model for over 25 years. It's a great reliable product for both acoustic and electric guitars. Now the battery life lasts a lot longer than it used to.

  • Great price

    This is an amazing tuner that does what it's supposed to with no issues. I would recommend this over a standard guitar/bass tuner since it can detect pitches that fall outside the range of standard tuning since it is chromatic, and that means it suits alternate tunings. The flip out stand on the back is also a great feature. I have the tuner propped up on top of my amp and it looks as great as it functions. Having an input/output makes it even more versatile since you can leave it plugged in to the amp all the time and not worry since it has bypass which means sound passes through even when the tuner is off. And if you have an acoustic guitar? No problem, this tuner also has a built-in microphone. The only downside is that is has no illuminated screen. Unfortunately is seems Korg does not offer an illuminated version of this model, but you really can't complain as this is one of the best tuners you can get at this price point. Features: Chromatic, good for alternate tunings. True bypass Simple operation Microphone Buit-in stand Small, unobtrusive. Cons: No metronome No illuminated screen. Sometimes has trouble detecting really low notes, otherwise pretty accurate.

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. I'm not a horn player. When you play a "C" what note on a piano does it correspond to? That's what you tune to.
