Korg DT4 Solo Trimode Chromatic Tuner with Strobe Meter and Mirror Modes

The DT-4 illuminates the green LEDs around its circumference in one of three tuning modes: Strobe, Mirror, or Meter. There are also triangular red tuning guides that indicate whether the input is sharp or flat, helping you tune your instrument more precisely. The DT-4 is a unique style of chromatic tuner in which LEDs around its circumference indicate how close the input pitch is to the note name displayed in the center. In spite of its compact size (fits in the palm of your hand), the illuminated circumference and large note name display provide excellent visibility, allowing high-precision tuning over a range of A0 (27.50 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz). The adjustable calibration lets you specify the reference pitch in a range of 41 (more…)

    I am a 16 year musician and have used many different tuners. This tuner is small, attractive and very functional. I would highly recommend it. I needed it next day but decided to wait because Amazon was the cheapest. Amazon did have the best price. I found it online elsewhere for almost $70!

    I’ve been using a Sabine MT-9000 for several years, using it in its ‘chromatic tuner’ mode. Being a trombonist, the Sabine never had the ability to discern notes sounding near the bottom (and beyond) of the bass clef staff.

    I learned about the Korg DT-4 from a tubist, and a tubist obviously ‘works’ with ‘low notes’. My Korg ‘hears’ (immediately!) ALL the notes on my trombone.

    The tuning display is easily seen from across the room.

    In my home, I have a harpsichord and the occasional ‘touch-up’ tuning on this instrument is very easy with my DT-4. As with my trombone, the ‘lower notes’ on my harpsichord were extremely difficult (if not impossible) for my Sabine to ‘hear’, but no problem at all for the Korg DT-4.

    The Korg is a great ‘tuner’, and a bargain at the price!!

    UPDATE . . . . I usually use my Korg DT-4 with the ‘Mirror mode’ (for tuning) selected. This ‘mode’ is maintained when I turn ‘off’ the DT-4. (Pretty nice!) When I turn the tuner ‘on’, ‘Mirror mode’ is ready and functioning. It’s not necessary to re-select ‘Mirror mode’.

    Several days ago, the ‘mode’ was defaulting to the ‘Strobe mode’ when the tuner was turned ‘off’. Then, I noticed the tuner was cycling ‘off’ while I was using it. I imagined serious problems with my DT-4.

    Then, I realized there is not a ‘low battery’ indicator anywhere on the tuner. So . . . I replaced the batteries that originally came with the machine, and . . . presto! . . . the tuner is back to ‘normal’.

    So, for me, the ‘low battery’ indication will be when the selected ‘mode’ is not maintained, and when the tuner face goes blank during use.

    I continue to love the tuner! I use it everyday.
