Great Banjo Tuner May 28, 2010
By R. Chapman
"Che"
This is a great banjo tuner! I carry it with me wherever my banjo and I go. Works great for other bluegrass instruments too.
Won't Work for Alternate Tunings Nov 08, 2011
By Widge
"Widge"
I bought this thinking it would work for speedy tuning and retuning during my bluegrass gigs, but it only has one tuning option available for the fiddle setting, which is the standard violin tuning. If I try to switch to an alternate tuning, it won't even register the notes being played. I will be returning the item.

Won't tune a Standard Tenor Banjo Jun 14, 2011
By G. Habermann I am new to string instruments and have recently purchased a tenor banjo. I know that this type isn't considered a "bluegrass" instrument but in flipping through tuners I found the one which came up under the ability to tune banjos: Korg BA40 Tuner for Bluegrass Instruments. It sounded sophisticated enough to handle lots of tuning changes but it wasn't capable of tuning my tenor at standard C-G-D-A. Apparently it is really only suitable for a 5-string bluegrass banjo. I was able to flip through the various other instruments (as advertised) and eventually tune the G-D-A strings. But that was across many settings in the tuner. Alas, no C-string tuning here! I ended up returning the product and downloading a free tuner app to my iPad. I can't say that the app is more accurate than this tuner but it seems comparable in accuracy, has many more features, and isn't limited by the settings on a tuner like the Korg BA40.
