Korg CA-2 Chromatic Tuner (CA2)

This is a great little tuner. I use it for my ukuleles, even has a port so you can plug in the electrics. Very easy to use, and easy to read. Be sure to verify the calibration. Mine periodically gets bumped off 440 when I throw it in my bag.

This is my second Korg tuner. The first one is still working after 20 years, but I wanted one that did more than just guitar open strings. This CA-2 is just the ticket. Popped in the batteries and set the two tuners side-by-side and they both agreed *exactly* on pitch. The needle jumps around a little if you let all the guitar strings ring, so mute the ones you're not interested in and it's rock steady. I tried it with the 1/4" jack and with the microphone and both worked beautifully.The only downside: The ugly yellow plastic on the front and bottom. Makes it look older than my 20-year-old original. Fortunately that's an easy fix: The yellow panel pops right off and a squirt of satin black paint fixed it right up.This is a great tuner. Worth twice the price, easy.

For those that miss the old needle, analog style tuners, from the late 80's, early 90's, this is a really great digital version.Within the past few weeks of receiving it, I've put it next to many other tuners. It is very accurate. I have a Snark that I often use. However, trying to get accuracy out of it when doing a set up, and intonation is hard at times. It would give me good open string readings, sometimes 12th fret, but hardly ever harmonics. This tuner got past that issue.It came brand new in a box, with simple instructions, batteries included as well. Beyond a great deal for the price. It's also pocket size, which makes it easy to stick in a case compartment, or gig bag to take on the go. Also, the open mic feature is really nice for horns, or other vocal instrument, that has no cord access. It is also very accurate as well.

This tuner is great, it is very accurate and in situations with lots of background noise it has a very easy time picking out my sound (Trombone) and displaying readings on it. This product would have gotten 5 stars, but since the screen isnt backlit there are many situations where I simply cannot read whats going on on the screen. If the room isn't well lit this isn't the tuner for you, however if you are in any sort of well lit space it functions phenomenally. Very big fan for practicing with it, not so much tuning before performances in the wings of a venue.

My daughter uses this to tune her viola. Works great. This is the same tuner that the school orchestra uses.

If you need a simple tuner at a low price this one does the job. One thing that is handy is that you can adjust the standard frequency. I used that so I can match my instrument to an old organ that isn't built to A 440, and then to move it back to standard tuning.

The Korg CA-2 Is a great choice to simplify tuning your guitar. It has a mike built into it for tuning non-electric Instruments. I have not tried the mike yet. For electric guitars this works very well. The are pedals with tuner outputs that work with Korg CA-2 tuner. Multi tracking with your guitar in tune is a major plus.

I have a lever harp, and it has to be tuned each time before I play, and sometimes in between! The tuner has an attachment clip (purchased separately) that I can put on the pin of the harp and tune. What is nice is it makes tuning really fast. Back in the olden days, I had to use a tuning fork......I sometimes still do. But this tool is especially helpful when there is a false string, or something that makes tuning harder. You can set to 440 or whatever frequency you want. The only thing I wish it had, would be some sort of stand or holder where I could set it at eye level rather than holding it in one hand.......maybe I'll have to invent that!
