From Our Research Team:

Chromatic Tuner Built Especially for the Orchestral/Band Musician

The Korg OT-120 chromatic meter-type tuner specifically addresses the needs of the orchestral musician. The OT-120 also includes those "nice touches" born of actual experience in the orchestra pit with features such as a durable, soft case with belt clip to you put your tuner where it will be easily accessible, instead of sitting in your case or on the floor. TH OT-120 also includes a tilt-back stand. Built-in. The angle is ideally suited for playing while standing so the tune is visible. The Korg OT-120 also incorporates a louder speaker in its space-saving new design that makes it easy to hear and hold, while providing better viewing angles. Another component of the OT-120's new casing is a sleek aluminum panel, offering great looks and more durability for years of reliable travel and use. One last important physical feature before we discuss the functional side of the OT-120, is the placement of the input and output jacks on opposite sides of the OT-120 fir better balance on desktop, amp, instrument case, music stand etc.

As far as pitch detection and multiple tunings are concerned, the Korg OT-120 has a full 8 octave (A0 - C8) detection range that supports band and orchestra instruments, plus it also offers multiple temperaments for classical and ethnic instruments. Another great feature is its Sound Back (Patented: Patent pending) mode, which plays a reference pitch for the note that's closest to the input pitch. The meter indicates the discrepancy between the input and the correct pitch - great for training the ear to recognize pitch. With even more musically useful and orchestral-musician-friendly features, you have the ultimate affordable tuner for the orchestral/band musician in the Korg OT-120

I have tuned quite a few pianos in the past. The Korg OT-120 has been the best chromatic tuner this far that I have encountered. I love the big screen and the accuracy it shows. Variation with cali... read more [+]brations and note tones is a plus, too.

Good and useful features. Maybe a little overkill for a guitarist, but the VU type meter is great for setting intonation and really accurate tuning.

The best customer service I've ever received. Never has there been a better buying experience. Sweetwater is always my number one choice for all my needs. The customer service and general reliability is relaxing and just amazing.
