It is appropriate for this range. A0 (27. 50Hz) - C8 (4186. 01Hz): Sine wave
When performing music for the deaf, I assume you use a "signing bowl." If the instrument generates audible tones, the tuner should be able to work with it.
You can adjust the frequency calibration to some extent, but not nearly enough to achieve your goal of one complete tone. With any standard electronic tuner, you'll run into this problem. Any of them can only be tweaked by a half tone at most.
Selected User Reviews For Korg CA-2 Chromatic Tuner (CA2)
The CA-series from Korg is a versatile instrument. 2 Chromatic Tuner is a good choice for setting up a guitar, but I tested it on my electronic keyboard and it was dead on. There is an input for plugging in an instrument, which eliminates the possibility of an erroneous reading due to ambient room noise; however, in a quiet environment, the built-in microphone flawlessly picks up whatever instrument you're tuning. I have a variety of tuning devices and methods, but this is the simplest and most convenient.
Check out the review. This is a fantastic digital version for those who miss the old needle analog tuners from the late 1980s and early 1990s. br>br>Within a few weeks of receiving it, I'd placed it alongside a number of other tuners. It's extremely accurate. I have a Snark that I use on a regular basis. However, it can be difficult to achieve accuracy and intonation when performing a set up. It would give me good open string readings and, on rare occasions, 12th fret harmonics. This tuner was able to overcome the problem. br>br>It arrived in a box, brand new, with simple instructions and batteries. It's not only a great value for the money, but it's also pocket-sized, making it easy to stow away in a case compartment or gig bag. The open mic feature is also very useful for horns or other vocal instruments that do not have cord access. It's also extremely accurate.
For the past 50 years, I've played acoustic guitar. I've always admired these miniature Korg tuners, but this one is particularly difficult to master. The needle keeps bouncing around because it is extremely sensitive. When you move on to the next string, it has a hard time pinning down that string for a while, as others have mentioned. Perhaps it was designed for other stringed instruments, or perhaps I'm just old and confused. This will be filed away in my "other music" folder. It is not recommended for use with an acoustic guitar.
I bought this tuner to help me tune my violin, which was causing all of my clip-on tuners to malfunction. on the tuners The CA-series from Korg is a versatile instrument. The display on the 2 is very readable, and it appears to be very responsive. br>br>I later bought a Donner DMT-II as well. 01, and side-by-side comparisons were made. side of the equation. 2 is more sensitive and responsive, and she was giving me readings when the Donner went deaf at times. The DMT-based approach, on the other hand, The 01 came with a built-in stand, a backlit screen, metronome functions, and a clip-on microphone. on a sensor (which should function on the CA-) in addition to 2) As a result, I am glad to have both of them in my life. br>br>One word of caution: When opening the battery compartment, be careful how you grab hold of the tuner. Because you'll be facing the back of the device, it's easy to accidentally press the screen or buttons on the front with your fingers. Despite the lack of a feature, I enjoy this instrument because of its sensitivity and simplicity. It appears to be indestructible, as long as I don't let the batteries inside leak.
I bought this to replace my previous Korg model 1, which broke after I left the batteries in for too long and they leaked acid all over the place. I would strongly suggest this to anyone looking for a straightforward, simple music tuner.
This little tuner is fantastic. It will occasionally mix up a note's perfect fifth with another note. I've been using a CA40 tuner for several years and would recommend it to anyone who wants to play an electric instrument without first disconnecting the tuner. Only one input is provided by the CA2. The CA40 has proven to be extremely durable, surviving far too many drops without being damaged. This tiny tuner appears to be well constructed as well. It's affordable enough for me to keep a spare tuner in my shop.
It's convenient because it eliminates the need for a tuning fork, which I used to have to use. I still do it now and then. However, when there is a false string or something else that makes tuning more difficult, this tool comes in handy. You can set the frequency to 440 or any other number. The only thing I wish it had was a stand or holder so I could set it at eye level instead of having to hold it in one hand. Perhaps I'll have to come up with something new!.
br>br>My instrument of choice isn't a violin, guitar, or anything else you'd find in a typical music store; It's a psaltery that's been plucked. I got mine over a year ago and have been letting it languish ever since. I, on the other hand, decided to take it up and tune it. My phone's tune apps left me perplexed, and I couldn't tell if they were accurate or not. br>br>This little device saved my life; it's very simple and easy to use for a beginner; I would have preferred a clip-on with lights, but honestly, this one works great. It's also small enough to fit into the front pocket of my bag without being too bulky.
