    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.

    If I play a "C" note on my Bflat trumpet... what note shows on the tuner display? "C" or "Bflat" thanks

    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.
