chrissylynn: Would highly recommend this for anyone with children in Orchestra! They can tune their own instruments at home before practicing and who doesn’t love an in tune instrument when they’re 3 kids practicing in different rooms! I asked his teacher and she highly recommend this one and it turns out that we also bought this one in a different color for our oldest daughter 4 years ago when she started playing the Baritone! She also loves it!

FilmComposer: As a professional musician, I've had many tuners and some good metronomes over the decades. My kid wants to play cello, so I bought a low budget branded tuner similar to this for him. It was a bit awkward - had to hold the buttons to change function or power, it did NOT do a metronome and tuner simultaneously (this is huge for string players learning!), and the screen, while it looked nice, had to be looked at directly to read it properly. I returned it and paid 2x for this, knowing 100% Korg is a better brand.
This tuner rocks! Metronome and tuner at the same time is a huge feature. Single press buttons, nice volume, screen isn't flashy but it's clear and nice. It's nice the backlight option has a dim and bright option.

My only gripe is the LEDs for showing if you're in tune are only one red one on each side of the green in-tune one for sharp or flat. The digital screen with needle is much finer details, but I noticed him looking at the LEDs first.
Also the plastic shell is a bit slippery to grasp.
Overall, buy this one!

Chris RobinsonChris Robinson: This is a great combination device for the money.

Tuner: You can set middle A anywhere you want from 410 to 480 Hz in single steps and it keeps the setting when powered off. I make and play folk instruments so the default 440 is fine for me, but if you play in an orchestra you'll appreciate being able to set middle A to 442 or almost anything else. Tuning is of course standard equal temperament. It responds well to both stringed and wind instruments and I had no trouble getting it to respond correctly to any acoustic instrument, including a cow bell. Resolution is 1 cent which is great at this price range. I make Irish whistles so it's more than I need (a whistle is mostly played by ear at this resolution). I was previously making my instruments with a tuner app but the TM-60 has helped explain some # anomalies I've been having with the bell note. I think the reason is that the tuner handles harmonics much better than phone apps. If you play a major chord on a guitar it will even identify the chord correctly, so really amazing. The one thing I don't like about the tuner is that it does not indicate the octave on the screen, but on the other hand if I can't get the octave...

BubbaDooba: EDIT UPDATE: I'm lowering my rating for a slight reason: The microphone tuner part doesn't work as well as I hoped, maybe mine is a little buggy, but it's not nearly sensitive enough for acoustics, so get the additional wired pieze pickup for yours. It works well and I got mine mainly for the metronome which works nicely except for my below comments. I'm just not happy with the acoustic tuner, it's not at all sensitive, it takes real volume from plucking the guitar to work. Following is my original review about the rest:

So I just got this. I badly needed a metronome because I'm a learner starting all over after a lifetime of not playing.

It's really cool.

Make sure you read the manual because some things are not immediately obvious, like how to have a more granular adjustment of tempo setting.

It isn't very loud, in fact not nearly loud enough with electric guitar, but no problem, use the headphone out jack and pipe it into powered speakers or your mixer.

I haven't really tested the tuner except it can't hear my electric without amplification so it isn't super sensitive to sound. I use a pedal tuner so the metronome is more important to...

Carl C. Ferre-lang: I've used a lot of different metronomes: Taktells, seiko style, qwiktime, numorous card style metronomes, my teacher's dr beat which I loved (and was a major reason I chose to practice in his studio) and my mother's seth thomas electric metronome when I would come home. Of all of these, my favorite besides the dr beat was the seiko style ones. They were durable with one movable knob only, no display- nothing fancy to break down (the seiko one i used for teaching, I must have dropped a hundred times) - and they were loud! I'd leave one in a practice room or somewhere and it was no big loss. Those card style digital ones in particular were like 10 bucks anywhere 15 years ago! I've always been nervous to get an integrated metronome such as the one above because I figured the more features, the more possibilities for something to stop working. This has been sort of proven to me in my experiences with some of these integrated tuner/metronome combos. The only tuner I've ever owned, on the other hand, was my beloved korg CA-30. I had it for 15 years. Practiced intonation using the tone generator for an hour each day for something like 5-6 of those years. It never failed. In fact, I lost...
