Korg TM-70T Tuner and Metronome w/ Sound Out Mode, Transpose Mode, and Chromatic Mode - Black

I started taking guitar lessons last month and needed a tuner and a metronome. I didn't want to use a metronome app on my phone, so I opted for this tuner and metronome combo and I'm very happy with it. I don't understand all the features yet, but the metronome has lots of different speeds for practicing and the tuner is easy to use. It props up for when I'm using it as a metronome (though I usually just prop it against the music stand) and it fits in the accessory compartment of my guitar case. Very highly recommended!

Works well. All the buttons work, and the microphone picks up sound very well. The LCD screen works great and the backlight is the perfect brightness. The feel of the tuner is much higher than many electronics these days. Great value for the money. The speaker works great and sounds good. It is very intuitive and easy to use.

This is an expensive metronome, and my kid keeps losing it. The only issue is that during the start of the school year, it takes so long to get delivered.

Works great, easy to use, and keeps me from getting distracted from my phone.

Great quality, easy to read and tune to my cello. Bright display with a good tone. Great value and comes with a battery.

I wish I could give this a 4.5 out of 5, but here are my thoughts. I have played French Horn for almost 20 years which is an F instrument (yes, if you play a double horn you will have an F side and a B flat side, but the instrument is an F instrument; the B Flat side is 2 feet shorter in length to help with high notes and really low notes if you're an American player; if you're a German player, they play opposite where they use the B Flat side for mid range, then the F side for High and really low notes or at their own personal discretion; but that's a long dissertation that does not belong in this review). That was why I got this tuner/metronome was to test out how I like tuning my French Horn to Horn pitch and not Concert Pitch or C; although if you are a semi professional player, you are told in Conservatory or Music College to be able to mentally know what your note is in F when a conductor says "Play a Concert A" to an orchestra. For those Horn players out there, a Concert A is pitched as E for Horn Players which is an interval of a Perfect 4th below concert pitch; the worst mental transposition possible out of all the orchestra instruments. So this metronome will help with individual tuning in F, and if I want, I can opt to tune to Concert Pitch and practice checking my mental transposition, which is nice; what I don't like about this feature though, is you have to push the transpose button on this metronome/tuner once to get to F, then 3 times to get to C, and then 1 again back to F; there's no fast option to just go back and forth between C and F or C and B Flat or C and E flat, which might have been a better design idea. I've used Korg's in the past and typically they sit on my stand, which is what these metronome/tuner's are really for; I have sat next to other semi professionals who somehow manage to play in tune and time while watching their metronome in rehearsals on their stand (of course the metronome is silent during rehearsal otherwise it would cause a distraction) instead of using their ears (like you are supposed to in an orchestra) to stay in time and tune with the orchestra while the conductor conducts. The metronome part works more than fine for individual practice at home; again these are designed to sit on a sturdy stand as you play. The one other thing I wish was a few more sub division options for practicing with accuracy such as a dotted eighth sixteenth note, sixteenth note with dotted eighth note, then a particular triplet sub division such as quarter note followed by eighth note with the "3" marking above it noting that it's a triplet rhythm, and then the reverse of that rhythm. One thing I've noticed that is never on the sub division for metronomes is playing a quarter note triplet over two beats; that would be very useful as playing a quarter note triplet over two beats is hard to do for piano players, but would also help other instrumentalists who encounter that rhythm. This quarter note triplet can be practiced without a subdivision or there are other ways to use the existing sub division on metronome's to practice this, but sometimes to actually hear it and play along with it would be very helpful. The one other downside is this metronome cannot be used very well to tune an electric guitar, which is my second instrument. I've been using the Korg TM-60 as it has the cable input to tune directly to my guitar. There may be guitar nerd's out there who prefer to use a pedal tuner with their pedal board, but I'm not at that level with my guitar to add any additional sounds other than the distortion that comes out my amp. Not a deal breaker, as having this will help with my brass playing and then the TM-60 I use for guitar. I did purchase the Korg KDM-3, which is strictly a metronome; a very loud metronome according to other users, which may prove more useful for me as it looks much sturdier and will sit on a flat surface. I'll test that out when it arrives and see what my thoughts are. Otherwise the Korg TM-70 works just as well as the Korg TM-60; although the backlight on the TM-70 is not as bright as the TM-60...not sure what happened there.

This is the latest version of Korg's tuners, made in Japan and as expected, it works absolutely perfect. It's a Korg! Well made with high quality materials. Very precise and fast. I just regret that the mic in is 1/8th, not 1/4th which is more useful for guitars BUT that's nothing compared with all the great features that comes in this unit.

Excellent quality small tuner/ metronome priced right.

Es bueno y muy útil

Excelente para afinar mi bajo, el Micrófono muy sensible y tiene forma de conectar directamente por cable, el metrónomo tiene muchas subdivisiones rítmicas para mejorar, de lo mejor en metrónomos y afinadores

O ângulo de visão era tão pequeno que era difícil enxergar, e a saída para fones de ouvido era tão pequena que era inútil para os meus propósitos. Gostaria de devolvê-lo, mas estou no meio de uma disputa com a Amazon.

Ortalamanın üstünde iyi bir ürün olduğunu söyleyebilirim

Très facile à utiliser et semble solide para rapport à d'autres combis métronomes/accordeurs que j'ai utilisés dans le passé. Seul point faible : je trouve le volume maximum trop faible.
