Questions & Answers

What is the tuning of a low B string on a bass like with this?

According to my understanding, it tunes a B low The only thing I ever used them for was to store information. I can tune all my four cylinders with it It works just fine with string basses.

The tuner works with autoharps, but can you tune them?

The tool is not intended for that purpose. This album contains a wide range of E, A, D, G, and B A Chromatic Tuner is what you need.

Do you have this tuner capable of handling alternate bass tunings such as eadgc?

You can tune the bass using it.

Selected User Reviews For Korg Tuner (GA50)

The guitars I own are tuned to different tunings, so I know they won't sound good when tuned to something other than Standard
3/5

In the end, I can only get this to work with Standard and dropping the D sometimes. All other options are off the table. I don't think it's worth your time. The only reason I bought it was that I used to own a white Korg chromatic tuner for years and loved it, I thought it might be on the same There was no way I could have been right. There's been no touch to this item in my drawer for a long time.

The boss I work for has this I wanted to try my hands on a Korg and got my 70 in the late 90's
5/5

When I tested the GA 50 with an A 440 tuning fork, I found it dead on as well as the boss. While the GA50 has a larger screen than the Boss, it does not have a back light, and I rarely use this feature on the Boss. at how much smaller the GA50 is than the GA50. There are fewer moving parts and it uses 2 AAA batteries rather than a 9-volt battery like the Boss. As a backup, I just wanted a back up since the boss is older, even though I've never had an issue with it previously. Unlike the Boss, which has two plus manual and five open tuning settings and pitch in addition to flat tuning for five half steps, the Korg GA50 allows flat tuning for five half steps. In my case, I only use one half step flat. In my opinion, the Korg GA50 will be able to do everything I need it to do and is a great deal at its price point. I am unsure how long it will last. It appears very sturdy and there appears to be a spot on the edge where a loop of string could be tied or whatever else it takes in order to hang it or keep it from falling. It's good to see you back. I just wanted to update you. In the same way as always, I tuned my guitar 12 step low. I am a member of the GA A steady needle and quick response are no problem at all on the 50. The built-in microphone works perfectly and I have not tried the option to add a tone pitch since I've never needed one. If you do, let me know and I'll give it a go.

I like you just as much as I've always done! Several years ago, I had to replace a device that worked until a battery leak caused it to fail completely
5/5

There is an angle on the back panel that allows the device to be positioned at The ease of use is greatly enhanced by this feature. This is an excellent tuner at a great price.

It does not drop its tune
3/5

Drop tuning my bass is the primary reason for purchasing this product, but it doesn't seem that the tuner tunes to every note on the instrument. While I'm tuning in standard, the moment I turn the key, it doesn't register any notes other than standard and what comes out when you click Although the product description appears to say it drops tracks, I am not sure what's going on. To be fair, I got back to standard tuning not long after using it, so it does work for that as well.

There is no chromatic tuner in this device
4/5

The pitch can be tuned with this tool. It just occurred to me that every tuner that looks like this would be a chromatic tuner, which Is it possible for a tuner of notes not to be able to tune all notes at once? What's going on here I don't understand.

It's a bit confusing to open the battery compartment! The guitar tuner should be a decent size for me
4/5

You can put it in your shirt pocket because it's a good size. The lever that folds out makes it easy to put on a table top.

A little confusing as it has two tabs on one button that read The battery compartment took me a long time to open because you have to click on it several times to see which one you want

And I had to click on it a couple of times to see which one you want. It was not clear what was expected. Thankfully, once it was opened, the two AAA batteries were able to be installed easily, and the device did not remain open for long. Nonetheless, it is a nice little device!.

The product does what it is advertised to do
5/5

A handy little portable with an in/out jack. According to what I tried out for a couple of weeks, it's not meant to be used on stage The lack of variable (or in this case zero) lighting was the sole cause. As well as your other gear, it is useful to have it with you at all times. With the tuner, you can have all the basics you need and stuff it in your pocket. In addition to my Nux Mighty Plug microphone I also use Most of the time I'm working on 2 at the moment, but if I were to Guitarise a bit The Korg GA50 is an electronic keyboard. The Nux Mighty Plug ** As I learn to play, I can wear headphones to stay in tune while I go anywhere I want. In order to "future proof" my purchase I sent it back. I did this for myself because I upgraded to the Korg CA50 to ensure my purchase would be relevant in the future. It is highly recommended to have.

The item is of high quality
4/5

When I use this tuner, the microphone setting is engaged for my double bass, and an input setting is engaged for my electric bass. The system works fine in both cases. There appears to be an advantage in reading the direct input since it is An older model died after about five years of frequent use. This replacement is the same as the original. Compared to the previous product, this one seems to be better.
