Does this tuner show the octave? For example does it display A1, A2, A3, A4, etc??

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.

In the chromatic mode it doesn't show the octave. However, in the instrument mode (Guitar, Bass, etc.) it does show the string number. So the guitar mode can show E6 or E1.

Thanks for your question. This wonderful sounding unit has terrestrial AM/FM and HD tuner sections, but not a V tuner

Yes. The one I use has chromatic, guitar, and violin settings and they all show the same notes

I purchased it to use for tuning pianos and am taking a course in piano tuning. There are stretch tuning settings for vertical and grand pianos in the unit. I do like the tuner and it works well while you are tuning in the middle of the piano. It does not pick up the extreme ends on the piano (at least without an accessory microphone), which is not a big deal as you can use tuned notes to reference these notes. I do really like the strobe on the unit and have found it to work well for me so far. I was however disappointed to find out that the tuner does not register the measurement of cents of the tone you are playing. In order to find out how many cents out of tune you are, you need to play the tone on the instrument and then manually match the tone with the tuner. The bottom line to me is that for the money I feel it is a good buy. If you have more capital, you might want to look at some of the available software for netbook, tablet or cell phone or look at some of the specific piano tuners.

Hello, I have used the tuner and it works pretty good. There is no display and you must just tune with the up and down button on the end of the sound bar. The unit has an average sound.

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.

It can tune to lower tunings. It will not however simply detect the note. You need to push the flat button however many times and then tune. It also does not show any notes other than EADGBe. For instance if you pushed the flat button and were tuning your E string to E flat, it would still read it as if you were tuning to E and show an E note.

Yes it works wonderful for any instrument, just remember you have to have the tone already before you tune. This would be a fine tuner, also while your are playing it help with the beat and also that you are in tune. For instance if you play C on the piano/keyboard, every C will show on your Tuner. I love mine, and use it all the time.

No it does not. But a decent tuner isn't too expensive to purchase either here on Amazon or at a guitar center. We got one for like $10 and it works on electric and acoustic guitars.

All tuners I know of are monophonic...they will tune one note. The korg units are not my favorites. They are not really very durable or reliable. The built in mc is pretty lame. The tuners that use vibration seem to work better for most acoustic stringed instruments.

Yes. It offers a full spectrum octave simulator. Under effects I believe it's MT, I lost my fx card that came with it awhile back, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

piano has 3 strings on high register and 2 strings on lower. Are you looking to tune individual stings? with 2 or 3 strings on a pitch in unison, this tuner may show 1 string in tune and others out of tune slightly.

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.

Hello William, no it doesmNot, but, there is a conversation chart with it that has A4 etc on it - great tool...

In octave mode it does ok with simple chords. In harmonizer mode it struggles to find the key to shift to. Single notes and lead guitar it does great.

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.
