If it were me I'd just get the contact mic and make the Korg a contact tuner. Although I've never used one I know how popular they are. So if you play any viola at all and don't really want to trim the rubber contacts I think turning your Korg TM-60 into a contact tuner with the Korg Contact mic would be your best bet.ĭepending on how long your snark lasted and if you liked it, you could just get another snark tuner. Someone on the SHAR website said it didn't fit violas 15 inches and up. Although after reading a couple of reviews, as Andrew said, they don't fit thicker violas. The D'addario NS Micro Tuner is also a good one. There's also a version that is just for tuning if that's all you're after, the Korg CA-50:

I found out of the sites I frequent that Southwest strings had the best price. You can get the tuner online from lots of places.

I usually use tonal energy on my iPhone and iPad these days and just connect to a Bluetooth speaker if I ever need more volume. Granted I haven't used one since the Korg TM-40 and they are now on the TM-60 so perhaps the volume has been improved. The metronome is nice too, although it could be louder. I always preferred the Korg with the pick-up to the clip-on tuners because in my experience they picked up the vibrations better and was more accurate on the tuning. Although it doesn't come with it, there is a contact microphone by Korg that you can buy that plugs into it and lets you tune from contact vibration. I was always fond of the Korg Tuner/metronomes.
