Korg AW2 Clip-On Chromatic Ukulele Tuner

Description

The AW-2U from Korg is a chromatic tuner that is designed to clip directly onto a ukulele. It picks up sound with either the built-in microphone or the vibration-sensing Piezo sensor (useful in noisy environments), and runs on an included CR2032 lithium battery for about 150 hours. If you forget to turn off the tuner, it will automatically power itself down to save energy.

The AW-2U tuner provides easy and accurate tuning for all types of ukuleles, from the popular four-stringed soprano ukulele to the eight-stringed baritone ukulele, in a convenient clip-on form. The unit attaches directly to the headstock of the ukulele and is designed to work with ukulele heads over a range of thicknesses.

One side of the clip has an interior pad whose angle is adjustable, ensuring a stable fit. The display is connected to the clip using a double ball joint that provides a broad range of movement - left, right, up or down - providing the maximum in freedom of adjustability. This way, the performer can adjust the display to the perfect angle, and continue to tune in a natural position.

Unlike the built-in microphone, the internal Piezo sensor picks up vibrations directly from the instrument, allowing you to tune even when there are other sounds around you. If desired, you can switch to tuning via the built-in microphone. The tuner can even be attached to a microphone stand. The display is backlit, making it easy to read in any setting. The light can be dimmed, turned off, and set to only get bright when a signal is detected.
