Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I've seen a lot of these KORG CA-30 CHROMATIC Ultra-compact, LCD Needle-Style Chromatic Tuners on eBay and was hoping that one of you knowledgeable folks could fill me in on these lil' gadgets.
I know. "You gets wot ya pays fer", but are they any good? They're only about 17 bucks. |

Location: Upper Left USA | It is the best bargain I have seen. If you require tuning to the nth degree you can pay more but this will get you in the range that most players and some dogs find OK! |

Looks like a couple of Korg CA-30s will be winging their way downunder in the next few days. |

Location: Tennessee | I picked up a CA-30 and really liked it. Much easier to use than an older one I have. The CA-30 is currently deployed to Iraq where it is in the hands of a Marine very near and dear to my heart. Reports are that it is holding up quite well so far in some rather inhospitable conditions. |

| I just got one recently - wanted something small for a uke case. Works great.
My Intelli-Touch is more accurate, though. |
