Advanced Tuner for Wind or String Instruments
The Korg AW-1 is one of the most convenient tuners available. Small enough to fit in your pocket, you can clip the AW-1 easily onto virtually any instrument. In fact, the LCD meter display can switch from horizontal to vertical, so you can position it on the instrument in whatever way is most comfortable for you. A piezo pickup actually detects vibrations from the attached instrument, or you can rely on the Korg AW-1's built-in microphone.

Korg AW-1 Tuner at a Glance:
  • Clips directly to wind or string instruments
  • Easy-to-read meter works horizontally or vertically
  • Pure major third/minor third intervals are indicated by marks, making it easy to play beautiful harmonies
  • Adjustable calibration
  • Auto Power Off function saves battery life

Clip for direct attachment to your instrument
The AW-1 packs a detection range of A0~C8 and superb functionality into an ultra-compact and lightweight unit. The included clip lets you attach it directly to your instrument, for example to the headstock of a guitar or the bridge of a violin. Since the clip contains an internal piezo pickup that detects the vibration of your instrument, you can enjoy stable tuning even if you're in a noisy environment. Two types of clip (large and small) are included, accommodating a variety of situations and instruments, and letting you dispense with the trouble of connecting a contact mic or other pickup. Alternatively, you can clip the AW-1 to your music stand and tune using the internal mic.

Meter Reverse function lets you invert the display
The AW-1 uses a newly designed LCD meter that you can read easily. The Meter Reverse function makes it easy to read the meter in a vertical or horizontal position, regardless of the position in which you attach it to your instrument. Each time you press the display reverse button, the High (+) display will move alternately between the left and right sides, so that you can attach the AW-1 to virtually any instrument in the viewing orientation you find most comfortable.

Pure major third / minor third intervals are indicated by marks, making it easy to play beautiful harmonies
Inaccurately played intervals of a third are particularly noticeable when played in a brass band or orchestra, but will sound "just right" when major third or minor third pitches are adjusted slightly away from the equal-tempered pitch. The AW-1's meter scale provides marks that indicate a pure major/minor third from the specified note. By tuning your instrument to these marks you can play beautiful harmonies in an ensemble situation. This capability is a great convenience not only for orchestral instruments, but also for vocal or a cappella practice.

Adjustable calibration
The AW-1 can be calibrated to a wide range of pitches (410~480 Hz). Calibration can be adjusted in 1Hz steps, giving you the flexibility for accurate tuning in any situation. The memory backup function remembers the calibration setting even when you turn off the power. (However, this setting will be initialized when you replace the battery.)

Auto Power Off function
The AW-1's power will automatically turn off if the unit is left on for approximately twenty minutes without sound being input, preventing the battery from being used unnecessarily.


Korg AW-1 Tuner Features:
  • Ultra-compact and lightweight chromatic tuner that can be attached to a wind or string instrument
  • Marks to indicate pure major third and minor third intervals
  • Piezo pickup detects vibrations from the attached instrument, or the built-in microphone detects the pitch
  • Meter Reverse function lets you invert the display
  • Adjustable calibration accommodates a wide range of concert pitches
  • Two clip sizes (Large/Small) are included for use in different situations or for various types of instruments
  • Auto Power Off function keeps the battery from running down even if you forget to turn off the unit
  • Memory backup function

Good intonation is made easier with the Korg AW-1 tuner!

Customer Reviews
 my favorite tuner, be careful when you replace the battery  
by Craig Whipps from Arcata, CA, USA, August 28, 2007
Music Background:  Playing the fool, and bass since 1964


“I've never put a review at Sweetwater (customer since '92), but, recently I got some great advice from a review, so, I figured it was my turn.

I originally bought this for a travel guitar so I could fit it in the pouch with my acoustic modeler, flash recorder, and patch chords expecting that it would never match the quality of my old $400 Korg tuner that I used to tune my string...” Read More
