Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner

The KORG CA-30 Chromatic Tuner is a versatile, essential tool designed for orchestral musicians, brass and woodwind players, and vocalists who demand precision across the entire musical spectrum. Unlike guitar-specific tuners, the CA-30 is a fully chromatic device, capable of detecting the pitch of any instrument or voice within a massive range. Its compact, high-precision design and intuitive interface make it a staple in music classrooms, practice studios, and professional ensemble settings.

Universal Chromatic Accuracy

The CA-30 is engineered for true chromatic detection, meaning it can accurately identify any note from C1 to C8. This makes it an ideal companion for a wide array of acoustic instruments, including violins, flutes, clarinets, and saxophones, as well as orchestral brass. The high-contrast, needle-style LCD meter provides immediate, jitter-free visual feedback, ensuring that you can achieve perfect intonation quickly and confidently during warm-ups or solo practice.

For added utility, the CA-30 features a "Sound Out" mode, allowing you to generate a reference pitch through the built-in speaker. This is an invaluable resource for developing your ear and matching the pitch of your instrument to a standardized reference, a critical skill for any serious orchestral musician.

Designed for Portability and Longevity

The CA-30’s ultra-compact, lightweight body allows it to be stored easily in a case, pocket, or music stand accessory pouch. Despite its small size, it is remarkably efficient; users can expect over 100 hours of continuous operation on two AAA batteries. With its rugged build quality and simple, easy-to-read interface, the CA-30 remains one of the most reliable and long-lasting tuning solutions for students and professionals alike.
