When I play open "G" my 2 chromatictoners tell me it is an "E" (2 notes lower). Could this be a fault with the instrument? It sounds good to me.

I may be off by saying this but would it be concert pitch that the tuner is going off of?

More likely something wrong with the meter, 2 notes lower is too much to be able to sound good to anyone. :)

It is a Bb clarinet, which means it's tuned to the key of Bb concert (on the piano).

Did you by chance remove the tone and volume knobs on the guitar to remove the clear plastic cover on the pick guard? I knew someone who did that and when he replaced the knobs they were not in the correct postion so when he thought he had it at full volume it was not producing sound, because it was in a postion for no sound .

I know you said you checked everything, but is there signal coming through the headphone jack? If so, you might have just shorted the speaker connection. If not, you have inadvertantly pressed the wrong combination of keys. Check the original paperwork included for the schematic of additional functions executed through the piano keys themselves. There is a mute function & other choices that could have rendered the audible speaker signal off. I sold mine, so I cannot look at it to advise you further. Joel

This starts on F below middle C also. I sometimes wish it was an octave lower, just because that is such a lovely sound. The bass melodicas are expensive!

I am not certain, but I have had an issue with the sound of the piano as it fades out. The sound becomes very sharp no matter what "voice" I use. It is really irritating and I haven't gotten responses from Korg after several emails to them.

Since you are using easy play I assume you may be a litle slow in playing. The melody keys are synchronized to a particular note. That's an automatic programming function. It could be that there is a lag between you striking the note and the"computer" processing it that makes it sound off. I'm not sure what you mean by easy touch. the keys are pretty responsive. The effort to get a sound is comparable to the pressure needed to use a computer keyboard pressure. But there is no way to play softer sound without the pedal.

Dear CTS, I checked out one of the C7's and the action as it comes from Cordoba is 2.8mm on 6th string and 2.5 mm on the first string. There is some buzzing on the 6th string at the 3rd fret if the guitar is overplayed. I normally would raise the action until this buzzing stops, but if you like that very low action, I can leave it there. The frets are level and there is the proper amount of relief in the neck, so to raise the action I would replace the saddle.Let us know if you are interested.Thanks!Daniel, Calido Guitars

I don't understand the question. What chart? As far as I know, there is only one Special 20- the Marine Band-branded one, as you describe. If you check the Hohner site, that's all you'll find under Special 20, in the various keys. I've been playing them for thirty years- they've never varied, far as I know. If you got something other than the MB Sp. 20 as pictured, you've gotten something weird, maybe not genuine Hohner. Is it maybe country-tuned, or some other odd tuning? Is it from some overseas outlet? I'd be interested in seeing a picture of a progressive Sp.20.

I use EJ17 strings normally and tried the EXP17. I never felt the EXP17 to be as bright as the EJ17 are when they are new. The EJ17seem to decline in their brightness more quickly than the EXP17 which eventually seem brighter. I play about an hour or so a day andI kept the EXP17s for 6 weeks and change the EJ17s after 3-4 weeks. I like the almost-harpsicord brightness of new EJ17 and decidedto just buy them more often. I gave a set of EXP17s to two buddies - I think they had similar opinions and are back to EJ17s. Onthe other hand, for a bright guitar or using light gauge strings, perhaps the EXP variety would be just right.more often. I use EJ17 strings normally and tried the EXP17.

Yes...and no. Yes, it's tuned in "fourths" like a guitar, so you play the 5th fret on the lowest string to tune the next higher string just like a guitar. But, you can't really tune it to E, there's not enough string tension. So the top and bottom strings are tuned to A. So it's like playing a regular guitar with a capo at the fifth fret.

The key of C is very good. My first harmonica was in the key of B flat. I then went to the key of G. I prefer the key of G when it comes to 19th century western tunes, old-time gospel hymns, and jazz blues melodies. I find, as a solo player, bending single notes with a lot of vibrato, in the lower register, really comes to life in the key of G...for me anyway.

The comments above are all correct. Although in Chromatic mode (C) it will show the correct note at any octave, it does not indicate which octave it is. As A. Fleischman indicated, in Guitar mode (Bass and Ukulele too) it will show the string number, but only on the open string. Thanks for the question.

Hello MJ. I have been asked if I can help with your Q: If you will notice, there are 3 different colored Snark tuners. The Black one is called the 'super tight', the Red one dos say 'all instrument' + guitar. 'Chromatic' and 'Melodic' scales as played on the piano, have a wider assortment of noted within the scale itself. A 'Chromatic' tuner is sensitive to a wider range of notes which will in fact include those from a Guitar and other instruments. I hope this helps some what. You need not worry, the SN2 will work just fine on your guitar because your guitar can play 3 or 4 levels through a 'Chromatic' scale up and down the neck. WDG Hello MJ.

I just tried hitting a chromatic scale while holding a tuner next to it. It appears to depend on how I hit it and which mallets are used. It was generally within 10 cents of an equal temperament scale although I hit some sour tones when I wasn't careful about hitting the center. Almost no reverb on it so I don't think it would clash in an ensemble.

I think it is the Octave with Middle C. I could be wrong. I tune mine with the standard GCEA combo on the piano. Don't know if that helps at all, but that's my guess. You can tune it up and down if you want as well...

Thanks!Now I got this Musescore downloaded, I still have not idea to make my LPK 25 to play any sound.Quick tips?

I didn't have this problem myself. Like someone mentioned, it's possible you typed it wrong. Try it with caps on or off, and check if you typed the letter "o" instead of the number and vice versa. These serial numbers that are created are extremely accurate, but there's always room for mistakes. If that didn't work, definitely contact Akai after registering your product. Enjoy making music once you get it going, this MPC Studio is something I've been waiting for, for years! Check out my beats on Soundcloud if anyone is interested. Good luck & sorry you're having trouble.
