Having played for many years, and I can’t stand to hear an instrument out of tune (usually flat).

I learned right away how to tune guitars “sans-equiptment”. I was used to playing Blues and Rock in the 1950-s and 1960′s in the key of “E” and most three chord songs were in that key, while some drifted into a “C”..I got used to tuning in “E” and hearing it when it wasn’t there, as it is the first top string on guitars, and Basses which gave me a fit, (the bass).

I recall that many guys I played with always took like a good 1/2 hour pinching their keys and saying “wait”~!

I would get a good “E” on the top then go down the strings remembering that the “B” string was flat 1/2 step, and got used to it.

But, I always waited for these key – pinching fanatics, until I bought my first Bass, then I asked all for a Bass or low “E” chord then went from there..it was my system and was great for me, as the Bass “E” was nearly impossible to find all by yourself,(bass) there are no forks in the “E” (low) key.

I bought my first KORG-30, and Korg-60 for my Mandolin and guitars and basses.

I found most to be off including me!These Korgs will put you in the ballpark, then there are your “key-pinchers” always with an issue on tuning!

Wasting time for practice and playing for audiences, this was always great enough, but, the Korgs and others I had bought were not in agreement, as others were flat, and Korgs even of the same Item # disagreed.

This would be true even if all had tuned to an organ or Harmonica or pitch pipe, but the Korgs, even though not always agreeing w/ one another, would certainly disagree with other makes, so, if one is to complain about a few “Mc-steps” in pitch, be cool, as the ears are not going to pick up these micro-pitches that are picked up and disagreed with by other means.

These are a great invention and puts you there, in spite of the fact that my Amp has a built in Bass Tuner, that I am always checking when I practice or play.

So, I’d rather be off tune by less than a “key pinch” and use these Korgs or ANY good Name Tuner..Don’t leave home w.o. it.

Keep one in your pocket, your case, your amp. top, strapped across your forehead like a “Samurai Warrier” (With the letter “E” across the front center)!.

It is the best we will have for a while, but we all will start on our bosses time schedule, and play w.o. the “key-pincher’s amp “off”,when not in sight.~!~!~! (He/she will always disagree anyway).

I would spend my money on the CA-30 chromatic tuner, you can tune drop d, c, open d, etc. Not with this one. This one only seems to be good enough for standard tune.

I ordered this tuner thinking it might help as far as tuning a guitar. I found it kind of hard to use. For years I tuned by ear, so using this is new to me. It does help to get the first string in the right range, but afteward, if I went by the meter, it sounded terrible, so I just reverted back to tuning by ear. If you are a beginner it may be the perfect item for you especially if you have an instructor who can tutor you with it’s use. Overall I wasn’t too impressed with it, but it could be because I’ve never used one.
