Korg - CA-50 Chromatic Hand-Held Pocket Tuner - White

Finally, a tuner that works for a non-music person like me and our son’s cello no longer sounds like it wants to kill us.

Brilliant upgrade on my previous tuner, the ability to tune outside of EADGBE is so good, have been playing a lot in CGCEGC lately and this picks up the other notes very accurately. Very reasonably priced. My last tuner was also a Korg and is over 20 years old, still works perfectly, I would hope this will stand the test of time in the same way.

This is a great tuner - it allows in-line and microphone tuning, battery life is good, easy to use!

Bought to tune violin, good for most notes and strings but doesn’t pick up the top e string very well, often needs several goes to get it to register.

Very handy pocket tuner

I bought this so that I could tune my 29-stringed harp accurately. The harp is quite temperamental and goes out of tune easily when subjected to variations in temperature and humidity. Hence it needs constant tuning. A tuner is an absolute necessity therefore, and this one is easy to use and can be set to tune it to whatever frequency one desires. The usual modern trend is to tune instruments to 440Hz but I prefer the 444Hz frequency, and this gadget can be easily set to that. I would also recommend buying, along with it, the Korg contact microphone which attaches directly to the instrument body by means of clips; the other end plugs into the tuner. This means it can be tuned in noisy environments yet doesn't pick up surrounding sounds. (I tried to do without this at first but subsequently purchased it and at around £10 it was well worth it!)

Had this in the past, works fine

An excellent tool. I use it every practice time.

Great tuner. Super accurate. Just sometimes a bit difficult to pick up the low E string, but that seems to be a common issue across most tuners. Amazing for setting up intonation on a guitar.

This is my third Korg tuner of this nature. I have a CA-30, a CA-40 and now the CA-50. They are all good. The CA-30 has one feature lacking in the CA-40; an output jack. The CA-40 and CA-50 has both in and out, so you can plug in a guitar or device on the input side and then plut into an amp on other device on the output side. I have routinely plugged my CA-40 into another tuner (usually a Korg pitchblack). Why? Because the CA-40 was easier to read, particularly at distance or in bright sunlight. The Pitchblack then became largely a mute switch while I was tuning even though the Pitchblack costs $100+. The reason I got the CA-50 was because after many years the mic on the CA-40 stopped working. I could still plug in/out of the CA-40 and could still use the CA-30 for that... but for the price the CA-50 with the larger display seemed like something I wanted to add. The CA-50 is essentially the same tuner as the CA-40, but again, with the larger display. It seems to have the same accuracy. About the accuracy of all these Korg tuners? They are SO accurate that I can intonate my guitars and basses with them. They are much more accurate than most clip-on tuners, particularly Snark tuners. This is particularly a great instrument for tuning band instruments. It's response time is very fast, much faster than many cell phone tuners. Because it is a dedicated tuner you can get it turned on quickly without having to scroll through menus. Any downsides to this tuner? If you're in a quiet room the mic works great. If you're in a loud (or quiet) environment the plug-in feature works great. However, if you're in a loud environment and don't want to plug in, only then are you better off with a clip-on tuner. And for that I recommend the Korg Pitchcrow over all but the TC Electronic Polytune or the Peterson clip-on Strobotune. The only other downside that I can see is that this model does not have a built-in metronome. I have several stand-alone metronomes so that was not an important feature for me. I guess this review makes me a Korg fan-boy, but I assure you I have no relationship to Korg other than being a customer.

最近クロマチックハーモニカの講習会に行きだした。そして購入後、毎日使用。今までのは全てギター用のクロマチックチューナーの為、クロマチックハーモニカには応答感度が適さず、吸う音が適切に反応しなかったが、流石、楽器・コーラスの歌声も拾える程の感度を有していて、この価格。 クロマチックハーモニカは、息を吸う吐くで音を出すために、吸い口の穴に唇を確実に当てたつもりでも、少しでもずれていると音が濁って聞こえる。これが視覚で見える為、唇の当て方、位置などの修正に使える。ハーモニカにチューナーと思っていたが、調律をする為に使うのではなく、確認をするのに使う物だと。

Es valor seguro: funciona perfectamente.
