Korg HA40 Hawaiian Tuner

Korg's HA-40 brings precision tuning to Hawaiian music with a charming turtle-inspired design that honours Hawaii's ocean guardian deity. This compact LCD tuner achieves remarkable accuracy of better than +/-1 cent across a detection range from C1 (24.500 Hz) to C8 (4186 Hz), making it suitable for both ukulele and steel guitar players. The unit features an output jack with bypass functionality, allowing musicians to check their tuning during live performances without interruption.

The HA-40 caters specifically to Hawaiian instruments with seven preset tuning modes - two for ukulele including LOW-G tuning for solo work and D tuning (American tuning), plus five steel guitar configurations. Its broad pitch detection capabilities accommodate steel guitars with more than six strings, while the ability to tune sharp or flat relative to standard pitch and adjust in semitone steps means you can tune with a capo attached.

Sound Out mode utilises the internal speaker to generate reference tones for each string, helping develop your ear training alongside visual tuning feedback. The included stand allows desktop placement, and compatibility with the CM-200 contact microphone ensures accurate tuning in noisy environments. With approximately 85 hours of continuous battery life and automatic power-off after ten minutes of inactivity, the HA-40 combines Korg's proven tuning expertise with practical features for Hawaiian music enthusiasts.
