Should I buy a case, too?
Yes, yes you should. I should have done so the first time, too. I learned the error of my ways a couple weeks after my purchase when the instrument case was put down on the metronome giving me the lovely result you can see in the included photo.The tuner works nicely and is pretty intuitive to use. I liked it so well I bought it again! (With a case this time.)

5.0 out of 5 stars The last tuner/metronome you'll ever buy
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This product is absolutely fantastic in every way! It comes in a small box about the size of a postcard, and the tuner is wrapped in red bubble wrap upon opening the box. 2 AAA-batteries are included, and an instruction manual is also enclosed. This tuner can come in white or black, either color looks great.

The tuner has many functions, it is a full chromatic multi-instrument tuner, a high-functioning metronome, and a tone generator. It generates tones chromatically from C3 to C6, keeps time in tempo from 30bpm-252bpm and allows you to tap your own tempo, and choose the amount of beats and rhythms that the metronome uses while keeping time (ex: eighth notes, eighth note triplets, shuffle pattern, sixteenth notes). It also allows metronome control using intervals of 1, or intervals used on standard metronomes. The tuner allows an external microphone to tune instruments from a far distance away (and up-close), and has a "sound back" function which blocks out external sound and only tunes using the input cable (for amped instruments like electric guitar and bass). Volume control can be set using the adjustment wheel on top, and a headphone jack is also available. Finally, a multi-setting orange backlight is also installed to use in dark areas.

The tuner and metronome can be used at the same time. I can't really find anything wrong with this product, but the only suggestion I would have would be to have more selections of beat groupings/time signatures to choose from, but it's not something that I would hold me back from recommending this product to everyone. This is the product I would recommend to students and professionals looking for a light, compact tuner/metronome combo to use, it will be the last tuner/metronome you will ever buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stay Tuned
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I like this tuner and use it routinely. It facilitated learning my alto sax in concert pitch. Unfortunately, it lacks a transposing feature. The screen is well backlit and easy to read in daylight as well as dim light. It responds to notes quickly, has a broad range and all the desirable inputs/outputs, making it easy to jam or play by ear where there's no sheet music. Even pieces which are unfamiliar reveal their chord progression with this so long as they're not paced too fast or there aren't too many competing tones. This will try to select the fundamental tone. It's easy to slip in your pocket or stand on a flat surface. The speaker on it intended to produce an audible tone is pretty wimpy/unsatisfactory. BUT, you can get an accessory vibration pickup clip with a 1/4" jack that plugs right into this thing if the other instruments nearby are giving you fits. Perhaps the best feature with this unit is its intended purpose--to tune your instrument. It does this very well. This has the added benefit of teaching your ear good habits instead of bad ones provided you tune your instrument EVERY time you begin to play. Eventually, this lends itself to you being able to hear with your eyes (sheet music) and to 'see' with your ears (recognize what a printed note SOUNDS like). Folks too lazy to keep their instrument constantly in tune while playing lose this advantage or erroneously believe its irrelevant so long as they have 'relevant pitch' ears--NOT SO! For the price, this unit can't be beat. It is a little hard on batteries, but runs great on rechargeable AA's. (2)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tuner! No Issues, LONG Battery LIfe!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (a bit expensive, but this a great tuner--excellent value!) **Save your money--don't splurge on the clip-on microphone (it's totally a not need)**

Bought this to help me with me picking up trumpet playing (I played brass in high school, but that's been longer that I care to remember!).

Tuner works great--very quick tuner articulation. I was used to the expensive analog tuners, but I didn't feel like shelling out the cash for one of those, and with the the KORG TM-50, there is no reason to! Battery life has been excellent (but I usually keep the back-light turned off).

Integrated Metronome is great (though not the coolest sounding metronome on the market).

I didn't bother spending the extra $15 on the clip-on microphone, and am glad I didn't. This picks up sounds perfectly. If you are planning on playing in a group, and want to dial in just your sound, I could see justifying the cost, but even then, this thing does great by itself.

Size: tuner is surprisingly small (online pictures can be difficult to gauge the size,but it's about the size of deck of cards (thinner, but a bit longer and wider)--very light. My trumpet case is a small case no problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, and the volume is adjustable. It could be a bit louder at the loudest setting.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I am an amateur pianist who plays the piano for fun, and I was looking for a simple-to-use, inexpensive metronome. Like many amateurs, I tend to speed up the tempo as I play, and I was looking for something to help me learn not to do that.

This metronome is small enough to sit on the side of the piano, and there is a small stand on the back to prop it up. It is easy enough to use - just push the up and down buttons to change beat and tempo to what I want. I like the fact that this metronome allows me to hear the tempo as I change it, so I can stop when I get to the tempo I want. I also like that the first beat of each measure sound a little bit different.

The up/down button changes the tempo in increments of about 2 beats. I play a wide range of tempos, and in a perfect world, I would like an option that would allow me to make changes in larger increments at first and then smaller increments as I near the tempo I want. Still, it changes quickly, and that would be a minor convenience.

I had never used an electronic metronome before, and like some other reviewers have said, this one is a little too quiet to hear without an ear piece.

I also play guitar, and although I haven't used it yet, I like the fact that this also has a tuning function.

El mejor afinador que he tenido ... Ningún afinador de los que tengo, es capaz de registrar la 5ta cuerda de mi bajo eléctrico. Afina con máxima precisión, se puede modificar la frecuencia de afinación, afina tanto por cable como por micrófono y cuenta con un metrónomo completisimo. Además la pantalla cuenta con dos niveles de iluminación. Para mí, el afinador perfecto. Recomendable para todo tipo de músico.

Pour un premier accordeur, c'est un coup de maitre ^^
Je faisais confiance à Korg, et maintenant je sais pourquoi, il est d'une précision, exquise, simple, et doté d'un métronome de surcroît.
Comptez quelques minutes pour vous apprivoiser avec son fonctionnement, puis ce n'est que du bonheur, le fait de pouvoir accorder grâce à l’entrée est un vrai plus en milieu bruyant.
