KORG GA2 - Black tuner for guitar or bass Smooth, easy-to-use and accurate tuner with long battery life for tuning guitar and bass! The GA-2 has a built-in microphone and telephonic input, so you can choose whether to tune via cable or microphone. The display is clear and easy to understand with an accurate display. Below the display are two red and one green LED for additional clarity in the tuning process. The compact and sleek design means it takes up little space in your guitar case when you're out and about. You can tune using the pointer on the display or, if you prefer to tune by ear, there's a built-in small speaker where you can get a tuning tone instead. The GA-2 also has a flat tuning mode where you can tune your instrument in five semitone steps. The battery life is up to 200 hours depending on the quality of the battery and which tuning mode you use. GA-2 is a dedicated tuner for electric guitars, electric basses, both nylon and steel string acoustic guitars, with or without microphone and for 7-string guitars, 5- and 6-string basses.

The company was originally called Keio Electronic Laboratories and moved into its first premises in 1962. The name Keio was chosen because it contained the initials of both founders' surnames. It was also the name of the railway line that passed right outside the window of their workshop. In 1963, Katoh and Osanai's first work, the Doncamatic DA-20, an electric rhythm box based on a rotary disk system, was introduced. The DA-20 was succeeded by the DA-11, an all-electronic DoncaMatic model. A few years later, Katoh was approached by Fumio Mieda, an engineer who wanted to build a new type of organ. Unlike most organs of the time, Mieda's version was programmable. Although he used the word 'organ' himself, Mieda had in fact designed a synthesizer. Fifty copies were produced and sold under the new name Korg, which was a contraction of the names Keio and Organ. During the 1970s, Korg developed a variety of synthesizer models such as the Mini Korg, PE-1000 Polyphonic Ensamble and MS-20. The company didn't limit itself to just synthesizers. 1975 saw the launch of the world's first pocket-sized tuner, the WT-10, a product that has since been followed by countless others. In 1981 came the PolySix, a synthesizer that was unique in that it was programmable, polyphonic and (perhaps most importantly) so cheap that virtually anyone could afford to buy one. Another big step forward came in 1988 with the Korg M1, a synthesizer that featured realistic sample-based sounds, a drum machine, sequencer and digital effects unit, all combined in one instrument - the world's first workstation, in short.
