A clip on tuner that allows stress-free tuning.

The Korg AW-2 includes two clips (large and small) with a propriety design to accommodate a variety of concert band and orchestral instruments with different tuning "sweet spot" locations.

The Korg tuner's double ball-joint allows multi-angle positioning. An internal backlight lets you easily see the display, even on a dimly lit stage, and the backlight can be switched between Soft mode for low illumination and the high-brightness Auto mode, or turned off for well-lit situations. The energy-saving Auto mode automatically switches to the low-power Soft mode when no sound is present.

The AW-2 has a tuning range of A0 to C8. Special markings indicate pure major third and minor third intervals for authentic consonance. The Calibration function accommodates a variety of concert pitches. Users can select either the internal mic or the vibration-sensing piezo sensor for optimum response, which ensures stable tuning even in a noisy environment. The AW-2 tuner's Meter Reverse function allows tuning from any viewing angle. The tuner is powered by a widely available CR2032-type lithium battery (included), and with the backlight off, the battery life is an amazing 150 hours. Auto Power Off maximizes the battery life and a Memory Backup function is also included.

I've only used the Korg AW-2 with stringed instruments (unlike some demo photos I've seen where it's on reeds and brass), but it does a great job. The piezo setting is dead on, but you usually have to manually mute your other strings because you'll get harmonic and sympathetic vibrations on the other strings.

The microphone setting is okay, but then it just behaves like any other tuner. The backlight works well, it's a breeze to change batteries, the clip is pretty robust, and I'm very satisfied with it.

Other tuners will do the job, but with a clip-on tuner you can tune on the fly just by turning down your volume. No need to keep a tuner on the pedal board or unplug your guitar to check your tuning.
