Good chromatic tuner
I've been using the same CA-30 tuner for over eight years now and I never had an issue with it, which really speaks for the durability of this tuner.
It reacts quickly and accurately to the pluck of the string. It has the cool feature that you can plug your electric guitar directly into the tuner via a jack-cable. In order to tune your electric even in the noisiest environments without issues.
You can even let the tuner play reference notes via the button on the right-hand side of the display. (The lowest one; the other two are for the frequency.)

Super Kool Easy To Use KORG!
I enjoy this KORG tuner a lot. It is super easy to use, reacts very quickly to the strings and plugs straight into my guitar, bass or keyboard. I like the calibration function and the overall durability and reliability of this most mobile chromatic tuner.
