Wide Range of Pitch Detection This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments. This tuner is ideal for tuning even low-register notes containing numerous overtones that are often difficult to tune. A high-sensitivity mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic instruments such as ukuleles. A separately sold CM-100 contact mic can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.Ultra-compact body with a "Tilt Slit" Although the CA-30 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The CA-30 packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.High-precision LCD Meter The meter section uses a LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.Sound Out - Internal Speaker Provides a Reference Pitch In addition to visual tuning via meter, the CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle through the A4-Bb4 notes commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Or you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5 (one octave), allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.Calibration Function The Calibration function (410-480 Hz) supports a wide range of standard pitches, and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps for accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. Thanks to the Memory Backup function, the Calibration and reference pitch are remembered even when the power is turned off. (However, these settings will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.)Auto Power Off Function If you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, the Auto Power Off function will turn the power off automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

I bought the first one last year and it's become invaluable. Just plug in my bass before the gig, watch the lights and meter for each string and it's done. Accuracy with no guesswork and no annoying "tune ups" for the audience to have to hear. When my wife got her violin from Music 123, I bought a second one to keep at home while the other one is in my case. We also use it to tune an acoustic guitar and a C-melody sax. The mic feature works just as well as direct input. I can't believe I made it through the sixties & seventies without one of these. I've also found that if Korg puts their name on it, chances are it will last a long time. Don't pass on this one, it's one of the best small dollar investments I've ever made.
I have two of these (they fit well in my clarinet case), and have used the free shipping deal to help order for my band students. I had about 20 students order last year, and they are delighted; they are also playing more in tune in general! I sent a letter home to parents, and had them pay me 20$, and I ordered for them. I will gladly do it again for those who are new, and those who didn't take me up on the offer last year. They make great stocking stuffers, as well! These are reliable, small, portable, and much more durable than my old Korg that I paid $100+ for in college. Plus, at this price, you can afford to have a few.
I like this tuner so much, I have four of them. I use them for guitars, bass, banjo, mandolin, flute, and trombone, and it works great foreach. The LCD "needle" makes it easy to quickly get to the correct pitch, and the red and green LEDs let you tune from a distance.Even though Korg makes a "guitar tuner" (GA30), I prefer this chromatic version for guitars to allow for alternate tunings, and it does have the 1/4" jack for plugging your instrument directly in.
Tunes my guitar, my ukulele, and all our other instruments. Great price! Simple functionality! Great looks! For all that, it deserves to be a bestseller.
This is a very good tuner. It keeps you posted on where you are on the scale. This is a very good wallet size tuner.
