WINTER NAMM, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, January
24th, 2013 - Korg has announced Headtune, the latest
addition to their line of clip-on tuners. Headtune is a fun, easy-to-use tuner
that's shaped like the headstock of a guitar, bass or ukulele, depending on the
model. All models include features that make it stress-free for beginners to
tune their instrument, while retaining the precision Korg tuners are known for.
In addition, Headtune features an extremely compact and lightweight body that
easily fits into the pocket of a guitar case for effortless
transportation.
When a single note is played, Headtune's built-in piezo
pickup will instantly detect the pitch of the vibrating string. Two types of
LEDs will light up: an LED meter to indicate the pitch, and a string indicator
LED to indicate the peg location. Together, the LEDs give a clear indication of
which tuning peg requires adjustment, and how it should be adjusted. Because of
its design, Headtune enables an instrument to be tuned without remembering the
note names of each open string, which is especially useful for
beginners.
Headtune features the same high-quality clip as used on Korg's
Pitchclip tuner. It will securely attach to an instrument's headstock, and the
display angle can be adjusted to a maximum of 120 degrees. The string indicator
LEDs and LED meter offer high contrast for easy visibility even in dimly lit
locations, as well as a wide viewing angle, allowing users to tune from a
natural, comfortable position.

The Korg Headtune Tuner will be available Spring 2013 for a U.S. Street
price of $19.99.
