Product Description
Korg tuners and metronomes are acclaimed for their extremely high accuracy and superb features. Korg TM-40 combines these two functions into a single compact easy-to-use unit. A great lesson and practice tool, the TM-40 offers both tuner and metronome functions simultaneously or independently in a handheld unit that you can carry everywhere. Its large LCD-type needle delivers both the accuracy of an LCD and the excellent visibility of a needle indicator. It also has LED indicators that show pitch deviation or blink to indicate the tempo, making the TM-40 a highly visual tool.
The TM-40's Calibration setting is adjustable in a range of 410~480 Hz to accommodate a variety of tuning standards. The calibration can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps, letting you accurately tune to any song or key. Memory backup is also provided so that the Calibration and Sound Out (?12 NOTES? or ?ABb?) settings are remembered even when the power is turned off. When intervals of a third are played out of tune in the context of a brass band, orchestra, or other ensemble, it is particularly noticeable. But those intervals can be made to blend more pleasantly by slightly adjusting them (relative to the equal-tempered pitch) to a pure major or minor third. The TM-40's meter scale provides markings to indicate pitches of a pure major and pure minor third relative to a selected pitch. By tuning your instrument so that the meter's indicator needle points to these markings, you can ensure beautiful harmonies when playing in an ensemble. This capability is very useful not only for wind instruments, but also for vocal or a cappella practice.
The metronome section offers convenient functions for practicing a variety of music. Beat mode - choose from preset patterns. Beat mode lets you choose a preset tempo and time signature, and Tap mode lets you specify your own tempo. It contains a large speaker that produces a clear and distinct metronome s

5 out of 5 stars great duel purpose   September 1, 2008
C. Harms
I got this for my daughter who is going to college to major in music. It is a great little instrument. I already had a Korg tuner for my other daughter who plays violin. We liked that one so well, that we decided to go for the Korg tuner/metronone when my older daughter needed a new metronome. We are very satisfied with it also.


5 out of 5 stars Good bargain   September 1, 2008
Dennis M (Hawaii)
I like the tuner-metronome combination, since both together is cheaper than 2 separate instruments. I wish I had known of this before I bought my stand alone tuner. The only thing that I wish this had is a visual indication (maybe a separate different colored led) that would flash on the "1" count of each measure to match the different tone emitted. This metronome only has 2 leds that alternately flash with each beat.


3 out of 5 stars It hears music in its head   July 29, 2008
Aquamarine Les Paul
The Korg TM-40, like its sibling CA-40, can do a fine job of tuning. However, there are times that the needle will move to a tune of its own even when there is no guitar plucking anywhere in the vicinity. It will go back and forth, sometimes for 30 seconds or so. Other times, it will not register any note! Very strange indeed. Perhaps Korg needs to work on the circuits and fix this quirky problem.


5 out of 5 stars Best price online!   July 26, 2008

If you know any professional instrumentalists (or even serious students), you don't need me to tell you that is one of the "must have" tuners. It is easy to use, accurate and light enough to carry anywhere. We looked at several sites, but Amazon had the best price when you considered shipping fees as part of total price. It has already been used extensively with no problems.


4 out of 5 stars very good for the price   July 21, 2008
