New Tuner Out There?

rhiggie · Apr 20, 2020

In the recent Ukulele Magazine - Ukulele Sessions they featured Sylvie Simmons doing a couple great songs. While watching I couldn't help but notice her headstock tuner was one I've never seen and the video isn't clear enough to read the brand. Anybody recognize it?

Whatever it is, I'll have to get one.

Based on some Google searching, I believe that this is not a new tuner, but an older one. I think it is the Korg AW-1 Micro Tuner. I first found it here. Based on a video review, I think it was out around 2010.

Going by Korg's website, they no longer make that model, but do have a variety of other clip on tuners, including some that are Pokemon themed, if that's your thing.

You nailed it. Now the hunt is on! Don't need to find a new one, just a functional one... Thanks for the info. Stay healthy

Yes, I recognize that Korg tuner. I have a similar one. It works great and is very accurate. Here are their current products

Haha, I was thinking just the opposite.

Haha, I still own the Korg N222, AKA KORG AW-1 Micro Tuner. It's at least 10 years old but still works fine. It came in a hard case (!) with foam cutouts for the components: head unit and a small clip for horn bells and a large clip for headstocks. The build quality puts most modern units to shame but the lack of a backlight makes it iffy for stage and night use.
