I own the Korg DTR1000 tuner. Often when I tune with the pickups alone, the tuning appears to be off. When I use this mic device, my semihollow body guitar tunes differently. When I use high capos and partial capos, this mic allows me to tune the guitar correctly. Also, the Korg tuner locks into the note much more quickly with this mic than with the pickup signal alone. In all, a very valuable device at a very low price point. Highly recommended. I plan to purchase several more. Also, very simple to record/play and observe tuning at the same time.

Does what it means to do very accurately and without much fuss. You can literally stick it anywhere and it should give you a reference tone you can use with a tuner.
Sound
Doesn't produce any sound... which is the reason I bought it. You can tune your non-electric instruments easily that way.
Features
Two features: a) You can clamp it down to any surface (meaning you can clamp it down to a tuba's rim, a classical guitar, a autoharp, a zyther etc.) and it will pick up the note you're playing by picking up the resonant frequency the surface vibrates at. b) Has felt covered clamps so you don't have to worry about it marring the surface of your "precious" instrument.
Ease of Use
Doesn't get more straightforward than this, simply clamp-on, plug in and start a'tuning with your tuner.
Quality
Says Korg on the clamps and seems pretty well made. I would have liked to have seen a thicker cable cord though.
Value
They don't make many contact tuning mics so compared to others in the same league they are priced just right and work like they should.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to use support.
The Wow Factor
Nothing sexy about it. If you want to tune without all the mucking about with mics or acoustic pickups this does what you intended to do easily, tune without micing or pickup installation.
