What You'll Get

This item is a single Korg TM-40 digital tuner and metronome. The package includes the tuner, instructions, and batteries.

About the Korg TM-40

Korg tuners and metronomes are acclaimed around the world for their extremely high accuracy and superb features. The new TM-40 combines these two functions into a single compact easy-to-use unit.

Revolutionary Features

A great lesson and practice tool, the TM-40 offers both tuner and metronome functions simultaneously or independently. Its large LCD-type needle delivers both the accuracy of an LCD and the excellent visibility of a needle indicator. It also has LED indicators that show pitch deviation or blink to indicate the tempo, making the TM-40 a highly visual tool. 

Excellent Functionality and a Wide Detection Range

With a detection range of C1 (32.70 Hz) - C8 (4186.01 Hz), the TM-40 provides quick and accurate coverage of a wide spectrum of notes and pitches for wind, string, keyboard and most other instruments. Even low-pitched instruments with complex overtone structures are detected with the precision you expect from Korg. A built-in high-sensitivity mic allows acoustic instruments such as guitar and ukulele to be tuned easily and accurately, and the separately sold CM-100 contact mic can be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even greater precision.

Sound Out

In addition to the visual tuning guide provided by the meter, you can use the TM-40’s built-in speaker to produce a tuning reference pitch (Sound Out). This is convenient for tuning by ear and also useful for ear training. By pressing the Sound switch you can select the reference pitch from A5 to B♭4(usually used as the tuning standard for wind instruments). And by holding down the Sound switch, you can select a mode in which you step through chromatic pitches from C4 to C5 (one octave).

Adjustable Calibration

The TM-40’s Calibration setting is adjustable in a range of 410~480 Hz to accommodate a variety of tuning standards. The calibration can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps, letting you accurately tune to any song or key. Memory backup is also provided so that the Calibration and Sound Out (“12 NOTES” or “ABb”) settings are remembered even when the power is turned off.

Pure Major Third and Minor Third Interval Markings

When intervals of a third are played out of tune in the context of a brass band, orchestra, or other ensemble, it is particularly noticeable. But those intervals can be made to blend more pleasantly by slightly adjusting them (relative to the equal-tempered pitch) to a pure major or minor third. The TM-40’s meter scale provides markings to indicate pitches of a pure major and pure minor third relative to a selected pitch. By tuning your instrument so that the meter’s indicator needle points to these markings, you can ensure beautiful harmonies when playing in an ensemble. This capability is very useful not only for wind instruments, but also for vocal or a cappella practice.

Metronome Section

The metronome section offers convenient functions for practicing a variety of music.

• Beat mode – choose from preset patterns. Beat mode lets you choose a preset tempo and time signature, and Tap mode lets you specify your own tempo. The compact TM-40’s contains a large speaker that produces a clear and distinct metronome sound.

• Thirteen rhythm variations for practicing a wide range of styles. The TM-40 contains thirteen types of rhythms that cover 0–7 beats per measure as well as doublets, triplets, triplets with center beats omitted, quadruplets, and quadruplets with center beats omitted.* Tempo is easily adjustable in a range of 40–208 beats per minute (bpm). Sophisticated rhythms, such as triplets/quadruplets with center beats omitted, give you the flexibility to cover a wide range of styles from classical to rock and jazz. Since the volume is adjustable, the TM-40 can meet the needs of any situation, from private practice in a small room to sessions in a large studio.

Tempo Adjustment Options

When you adjust the tempo setting, you can choose that the tempo value will increment or decrement either in “full-step” mode (steps of a single unit) or “pendulum-step” mode (steps of several units as on a mechanical metronome). Choose the mode that you prefer.

Set the Tempo with the Tap Function

The TM-40’s Tap Tempo function lets you detect and set the desired tempo simply by pressing the Metronome mode START/STOP button at the desired timing in a range of 40–208 bpm. This makes it easy when practicing to a song that you don’t know the tempo of, such as a recording on CD.

Memory Backup

With the Memory Backup feature, the TM-40 remembers your Tempo, Beat, Calibration, and Reference Pitch settings even when powered-off. 

Auto Power Off

After twenty minutes of none use, the TM-40 will automatically turn off to extend battery life.

About Shoreline Music

Shoreline was the world's original online music store—we're even older than eBay, where you're reading this description. We ship 40,000 orders a year, and we've been doing this for 14 years, so we know how to get your order to you quickly with a minimum of hassle.

Domestic Shipping Info
Shipping date	All our orders ship within 1 business day.
Time in transit	Our average delivery time for both First Class and Priority Mail is less than 3 business days after shipment (2.8 days as of June 2008). However, we recommend that you expect to wait about a week, just in case yours is that occasional package that takes a bit longer. Also, some of our heavier packages ship by Fedex Ground or UPS Ground, which can take up to a week.
International Shipping Info
Shipping and other fees	Our standard shipping method for overseas orders is either USPS Express Mail International or USPS Priority Mail International. This costs around $20-$30 depending on the weight and size of the package. We don't use cheaper shipping methods because they are not trackable, and nowhere near as fast as Express and Priority. Please note that when you import goods from other countries, you will likely be responsible for import duties and taxes. These import duties and taxes are not included in the fee you pay us for shipping, so be prepared to pay them when your package arrives. Please note as well that it is illegal for us to misrepresent the nature or value of our shipments, so we will ignore any requests to mark your shipment as a "Gift".
Time in transit	Our average delivery time by Express Mail International is less than 6 days from the time of shipment (5.7 days as of June 2008). However, please keep in mind that your local customs office may delay delivery by up to one week.
Special notice for Canadian customers	Our standard method for shipments to Canada is First Class Mail International. We use this because it's nearly as inexpensive as shipping domestically, and it avoids the exorbitant brokerage fees charged by FedEx and UPS. However, First Class is not trackable, and Canadian Customs will sometimes hang onto these packages for—no exaggeration—an extra 2-4 weeks. We also ship to Canada by Priority Mail International (about 8 days) and Express Mail International (about 4 days), so please consider carefully before choosing the slower shipping.
FAQ
Is this product new?	Yes. Everything we sell on eBay is new and unopened, and ships with the complete retail packaging.
How do I order more than one of these?	All of our regular auction-style listings only display one unit for sale. That's because it costs a lot to list more than one. But this does not, of course, mean that we don't have more in stock. We also maintain store-style listings in our eBay store. If you locate the same product there, you'll find many available for sale, with extra-unit shipping charges detailed in the shipping section at the bottom of the page.
Do you combine shipping?	Yes. Our extra-unit shipping charges are normally $1-$2 per item, depending on how much they add to the shipping total. However, eBay does not always calculate this properly. The easiest way to combine shipping is to use eBay's "Request total from seller" feature when you're completing your purchase. We'll send you the corrected total with the click of a button.

What is your return policy?	You can read the details of our return policy on our regular website at shorelinemusic.com.
Do you ship to my country? How much does it cost?	We ship worldwide. Shipping charges are detailed in the shipping section at the bottom of every listing page.
