 Nice little device August 19, 2008
It works and is pretty accurate. It makes my acoustic guitar sound very crisp and clean. It sometimes doesn't register when you want drop D tuning, but its a nice little device.
I had trouble tuning with my electric, but its most likely due to the fact that its a Floyd rose tremolo system.
 Student gets more pactice time August 13, 2008
There is no reason a music student should do without a tuner at home anymore. This guitar tuner doubles the amount of practice my granddaughter gets. No more excuses, and its is more enjoyable for her too. End broken strings before the ear trains, get a tuner.

Tuna Your Bass (or Guitar) for a Shrimpy Price! July 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This ridiculously inexpensive tuner is an amazing value. I've had mine for over five years without a hitch, and it's kept an electric bass, and electric and acoustic guitars in tune, quickly and easily.
It features a flat rectangular panel display which--if you're anywhere near the right note, detects which string you're trying to tune. So, if I'm tuning the 5th (A note) string of a guitar, I hit the open string (i.e., do not place your fingers on any of the frets), and a meter will show how far flat (left of center) or sharp (right of center) it is with the snall built-in microphone. Stop the vibration, and then turn the tuning key of the guitar until the meter settles into the center of the screen. If you're tuning a bass, switch it to bass, and it will re-set for the those strings.
Electric instruments are easy to tune because you can connect the guitar/bass output directly to the tuner (instead of, say, an amplifier). Acoustics tune well also, although getting the meter to center is not as precise or just-so accurate as a more expensive digital meter. For most purposes the tuner is MORE than adequate, and any beginner bass and guitar books will show you how to refine the tuning by sounding the same note on two different strings.
The KORG has a nice feature for instruments that are WAY out of tune, hit "Sound" and the tuner sounds out each string's tone. If you're really without a clue on what the proper range of tones, I suppose you could have all your strings one octave high or low--but, really, absolute beginners should have little or no trouble getting the hang of it. The tuner also has a button to produce the next 5 flatted notes. (Not being a very advanced musician, I haven't used it, but since it's on a basic tuner, it must be useful!)
It takes 3 AAA batteries, and the tuner doesn't seem to burn them up. For the beginner to intermediate player, it's an inexpensive, useful, and reliably accurate tuner within its non-digital display capabilities. MOre advanced players, performers, and perfectionists may want to spring for the pricier tuners, but this will suffice for the vast majority of those learning to play.
Right on time July 13, 2008
My fiance' is trying to learn to play bass and he needed a tuner so that he can make sure the instrument is welled tuned for practice. We didn't know anything about tuners so we talked to a friend of his who plays very well and told him the name of the product and the price and he told us to jump on that deal, as a matter of fact asked us to order him one also. Once we got the product and my fiance used it he was absolutely happy. He has loaned it to one of his buddies who told us that he plans to order him one, too. This product was awesome and my fiance's lessons are going well!
