## Description

Don’t let the price fool you! The affordable Ga-1 guitar Tuner/ bass tuner is an excellent choice for any guitarist or bass player. The handy tilt-slit design provides easy viewing; auto power off preserves battery life. High accuracy and superb functionality Have made Kong guitar and bass tuners the worldwide favorite. The Ga-1 is the latest addition to our best-selling GA series of tuners. With even more features, like a Pitch reference tone and quintal-flat tuning, The Ga-1 guitar Tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body. This dedicated guitar and bass tuner lets you select either guitar mode or bass mode for truly easy operation with automatic pitch detection. The Ga-1 guitar Tuner mode supports string guitars (7B through 1e). the Ga-1 bass tuner mode support string basses (low-B, Hi-C). a high-sensitivity mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars. The ga-1’s Quinta flat tuning mode supports the lowered tunings used in heavy metal styles to give more weight to the sound. Until now, dedicated guitar tuners have supported a maximum of only four semitones below standard pitch, but the Ga-1 gives you five steps of flatted tuning, extending as far as five semitones below standard pitch, and supporting even super-long scale guitars that are five frets longer than conventional guitars.

Review: A great product. - Works very well, really precise and easy to use. Small enough that you can easily carry it with you in your pocket. Update Nov. 2016: Have been using it for about half a year now. This is a very reliable, handy tuner. Even though it is digital, it shows an analog needle-type meter that allows for very precise tuning. It shows, for instance, when a string is going a bit higher after having been plucked (often an indicator that you need a new string). I have also seen people using it for brass and woodwinds, and it works just as well. A great little inexpensive toy that every musician should carry around.
Review: Excellent tuner! - Great compact tuner. The Korg shipped with batteries and worked great right out of the box. Allows user to tune electric or acoustic guitars, by either 1/4" input cable or via the built in microphone. And since I own and play both, my purchase worked out great. It also has a built sound emulator, which allows you to tune by ear. So, forget buying an expensive tuner! This little sucker tunes perfect every time. Thanks Korg for designing such an inexpensive and user friendly product. And of course thanks to desertcart for selling. I love it and highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad to have this tuner
*by A***B on November 11, 2016*

Glad to have this tuner. My other one stopped working on me. As a tuner should, this helps me tune my guitar by telling me what note I'm closest to, and if I'm sharp flat or perfect. It really helps me since I know what note the strings should be. I am careful not to go too high so I don't pop a string. I haven't popped a string in ages since the first time. This really helps me to make sure I'm always in tune before having a jam session, and in between to make sure I'm still in tune. It fits in my guitar case, and the batteries last a while...That's probably why my other one stopped working though. They lasted so long they sprung a leak. I'd recommend checking your batteries every once in a while to make sure they aren't leaking, because that could damage your device. Overall, it's really consistent and does what it needs to do. I have no issues with it.
