Model description
What makes the KORG Magnetune stand out is its balance of mobility and practicality. It’s so small and light that you can slip it into your pocket without even noticing it, yet it delivers reliable performance. The magnetic mount lets you attach the tuner straight onto the metal parts of your instrument, such as the machine heads or the tailpiece – convenience that many other devices simply don’t offer.
It runs on a standard CR2032 battery, usually included, which lasts for a long time. So you won’t need to keep buying replacements every month, and you can count on the tuner being ready whenever you need it.
The display couldn’t be more straightforward. A green light indicates when you’ve hit the right note, while arrow indicators point the way if adjustments are needed. The process is quick, visual and intuitive: with one glance you know your instrument is in tune and ready to play.
Another advantage is the absence of unnecessary modes or buttons that often confuse beginners. Here, everything is streamlined: switch it on, play a note – and you immediately get a clear result. No need to select an instrument type or spend time fiddling with settings.
On top of that, the build quality is solid enough to handle frequent use, whether at home, in rehearsal or on the road. For musicians who perform live or move between studios, reliability like this is essential.

In fact, this device doesn’t really have a defined target group. Thanks to its simplicity and versatility, the KORG Magnetune easily fits into the life of any musician. For beginners, it removes uncertainty and helps build confidence that the instrument is properly in tune. For experienced guitarists, it ensures quick and stress-free tuning on stage or in the studio.
Self-taught players will love its ease of use: you start playing and instantly hear that everything sounds right. Professional performers and sound engineers will appreciate it as a dependable tool for quick checks before recording, when every detail matters. And for those who simply play at home for joy, it’s a delightful little helper – always ready to set the mood without breaking it.
