New Guitar And Bass Clip-On Tuner

Korg releases the small and sleek PitchCrow-G   25-Jun-15

Korg has released the new PitchCrow-G, which they describe as a smaller, sleeker, and more accurate clip-on tuner that easily attaches to any headstock and is perfect for all skill levels. They say that the guitar and bass modes, strong ball joint clip, full color LCD display and 24 hour battery life, provide for a streamlined tuning experience.

Brian Piccolo, Brand Manager for Korg Guitar Products, told us, "The PitchCrow-G' s ±1 cent precision mode is great for quick and smooth tuning and a 'first string over-winding warning' appears in the display to prevent string breakage caused by over-winding the thin first string. The most notable change is in the size of the display. Without increasing the size of the meter's display area, we've significantly narrowed the unused space around the edge, resulting in a more compact tuner overall and slimmed-down the thickness of the body. The new clip uses a more efficient and simplistic design, resulting in improved strength and reliability, uncompromised holding power on any type of headstock, and maximum flexibility due to the its unique ball joint."

Korg says that, for fine tuning in the studio or in a performance setting, the PitchCrow-G provides tuning accuracy of up to ±0.1 cents, eliminating even the slightest pitch discrepancy.  In addition to the conventional chromatic mode, there is also a dedicated guitar mode and bass mode. In each mode, the string number is shown beside the note name, allowing even the beginner to tune with ease.
