 Great toy May 17, 2005

A lot of tuner for a buck. Probably the best out there. Compact, light, very precise, the built-in microphone is sensitive enough, maybe too sensitive, because it picks up the background noise. You can tune guitar, mandolin, ...., violin, cowbell, and use the input socket for contact mics.

The display is very clear and easy to read and has a "dial" that swings left to right to tell you how close you are to whatever pitch you're trying to play. Comes with an electric input as well as a mic. It's very small and compact and the battery life is good. Great tuner at a great price.
 Excellent value -- I have 2 of these. January 3, 2005

I prefer the older model a little more as it has better, more positive buttons - I usually find myself having to press on/off twice. Other than than it is superb. I have one velcro'd to my music stand for my electric guitar -- which I feed from my Marshall practice amplifier's line-out (or the effects line out of my other amp). The other, I use for my acoustic guitar (the tuner has a built in microphone), my son's & for checking the key/chords of tunes (that is a nice benefit of the "chromatic" part of this feature -- it will correctly detect & identify any and all notes). Batteries are cheap/common AAA & usuage is very low (the LCD is not backlit, so power usage is minimal). Stability is comparable to most other tuners including those costing $100 and more.
I recently invested in a Boss TU2 foot pedal tuner. I actually prefer the Boss -- it is brighter (for stage use) and, although technically less accurate than the Korg, provides more stable readings and hence allows very quick tuning. It can also be used as a mute switch and has a strobe feature which I never use. However, this costs about 5x as much as the Korg, uses more power (either wall wart or expensive 9V battery).
In conclusion, the Korg is excellent value at well under $20.
