Korg TM-60 Combo Tuner Metronome - Black
Brand
KORG
Orchestral brass players, classical woodwind musicians, and student ensemble performers require a daily practice utility that anchors both their timekeeping stability and intonation tracking. Joggling individual metronomes and standalone pocket tuners on a music stand creates unnecessary clutter, while traditional compact combos force you to constantly toggle back and forth between menus. The Korg TM-60 Combo Tuner Metronome black edition completely updates this performance layout. By implementing a massive, high-contrast digital display capable of running a fluid needle-type tuner and a fully featured rhythm metronome at the exact same time, this handheld powerhouse streamlines your daily exercises.
Upgrade your practice sessions with the KORG TM-60-BK Tuner & Metronome, the latest and most refined iteration in Korg’s legendary TM series. Finished in a sleek, professional matte black, the TM-60-BK combines a high-precision chromatic tuner with a highly responsive metronome in one compact, easy-to-use unit. Ideal for orchestral students, brass/woodwind players, and gigging musicians, this dual-purpose tool allows you to refine your pitch and timing simultaneously, ensuring a more efficient and productive practice routine.
Simultaneous Pitch and Rhythm Tracking
The standout feature of the TM-60 is its large, dual-function LCD screen. Unlike older models, the TM-60 allows you to view both the tuner and metronome information at the same time, making it significantly easier to practice long-tone control while maintaining a steady beat. The tuner section utilizes Korg’s ultra-stable detection engine with 1-cent precision, ensuring that your intonation is always spot-on.
The metronome section features 15 distinct rhythm variations, including complex polyrhythms and varying time signatures. With a tempo range of 30 to 252 BPM and high-contrast visual beat indicators, you can master even the most demanding rhythmic patterns. The "Sound Back" mode provides an incredibly effective way to develop ear training by playing back the nearest reference tone to the note you are playing, helping you internalize correct intonation.
Professional Design and Extended Battery Life
The TM-60 is engineered for the rigors of daily academic and professional use. It features a highly power-efficient design that delivers up to 130 hours of continuous operation, nearly double the battery life of its predecessors. The rear-mounted, retractable stand provides a stable viewing angle on music stands or tabletops, while the memory backup function ensures that your last-used tempo, calibration, and reference pitch are saved automatically when you power off.
