But does this tuner go to Drop C and Ab (G#) and be accurate? I ask because I've had trouble with Korg tuners only tuning to standard.

Brad, I play a 5-string bass and have had no problems tuning to the low B. Often I check the tuning accuracy of the notes I play most often, such as, low C, D, F, G, Ab, Eb, etc. It displays the note that I am hitting and indicates if it is sharp or flat. I don't foresee you having any problem with this tuner. It is the best tuner I have ever used. The "true pass through" and mute features while tuning are excellent also.

I have a seven string that I occasionally tuned a whole step down and it works perfectly fine

Hi Brad, That is a good question. I purchased mine primarily because it is a chromatic tuner and I do play in Drop D and DADGAD. The tuner is quite good with those tunings but I have not tried out the accuracy in open C or below.

It handles the B on my 6-string bass fine so C is no problem. And I just now successfully tuned my acoustic guitar to Ab so I would imagine you'd have no problems. I love the thing, best tuning pedal I've ever tried hands down.

It will tune to whatever the nearest note is- no issues with only detecting EADGBe. If you want to detune your 6th string to a D for instance, just detune it until the tuner picks up the tone as a D. My band plays tuned down a half step and it's very simple- great tuner.

Absolutely. I've never had a problem down to low B and beyond. Best tuner pedal I've ever owned in fact.

The most common tuning is B D G B D I just use standard guitar tuning as that's what I like . Mine is a round-neck. You can Google tuning for dobro and find many. Ronnie

Hey Chip, as long as you know what notes you want to tune to it shouldn't be a problem. The tuner uses the vibration through the instrument to tell you what your tuning is.

I completely agree with Zantigar's answer. Most professionals use the tuner for middle C, then tune the rest of the piano by ear using intervals (e.g., fourths, fifths, and octaves). I'm not a pro and I use the tuner to tune the middle two octaves, then I tune the rest by ear using intervals. I recommend you get a book on piano tuning (I use "Piano Tuning and Repair" by Ralph Higgins on my Kindle, but it doesn't seem to be currently available). Another option is to search for some tutorials on the Web and YouTube.

It returns to 0 when I take my finger off. It's a great midi controller and with the software alone it was worth the price . But pitch and mod control takes getting use to because there is no feel to it hope this helps.

C is the lowest note. The G is higher than the C string. You have the option of doing it differentl.

Absolutely. I love it. It is finicky on tuning. But I would highly recommend it.

Using the chromatic setting you can tune any string to any note. For example I use it to tune to open E tuning . I was told in an email by the company that the standard tuning setting is pretty much just their as a guide to new users (i.e. these are notes you should tune to). So as long as you know what note to tune strings to in a C tuning you will be fine.

Hi Cynthia, the notes are G, D, and F. I've not checked it with a tuner, but it sounds in perfect pitch to me. I posted a video review if you'd like to hear it!

Yes, in fact I would say it would be a necessary tool to have in order to tune any guitar. I have two Korg's so that I always have a spare. I've been very pleased with this tuner.

It is accurate. I tuned a guitar with it and then played that guitar with a keyboard track and it was perfect. sometimes it takes a little longer than i would like for it to respond but that's true of all the tuners i have used.

It works well for me. I have 2 Korg workstations 88 keys and 61 keys. It's a little tight but with the smaller one on the top at just about level, it works. There is a little room for modification if you're okay with that.

Hi,It is in key of C.... Standard tuning is 440, and it doesn't indicate otherwise.

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

Bruce, this tuner is supposed to be +/- 1 cent on accuracy. I do know these tuners have brought out a better sound on my guitars vs an older stand alone chromatic tuner that I was using because of placement variation. For the price I don't think you can beat them.

Personally, it is good for any style. I really like it a lot. I play pretty aggressive music so I think I have an understanding of what you're going for. For me it works if you have the Sustainer at a lower level otherwise it'll hum and feedback a bit. Just adjust based on your settings and other pedals.
