Very handy and precise little chromatic tuner that you just clip onto the head of your instrument.
The clip has good strength and a rubberized inside to ensure that it both stays securely in place but without leaving scratches or other marks on your instrument. The simple and clear LED display is visible even in the dark on stage and is vertically switchable depending on whether you have the tuner on the front or back of the instrument head or whether you are right or left handed. The three different display modes Regular, Strobe and Half Strobe allow you to find a display that suits you perfectly. The Pitchclip-2+ reacts lightning fast and has an accuracy of an incredibly low +-0.1 cents for a fast and highly accurate tuning. It is powered by a CR2032 battery that lasts for about 18 hours of use.
Perfect tuner to have on stage, in the studio or at home on the couch to easily keep full control of the tuning.

KORG - Innovation since the 60s
Korg was founded in Japan in the early 60s by Tsutomu Katoh and his colleague Tadashi Osanai. 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.
