Description of KORG Rimpitch-C2
Every guitarist wants tuning to be straightforward, quick and as accurate as possible. That’s exactly where the KORG Rimpitch-C2 comes in, turning every rehearsal or performance into a confident and comfortable experience with no unnecessary hassle.
What makes this tuner impressive is that it’s designed specifically for acoustic guitars and created to stay out of your way. It fits neatly into the sound hole of your instrument, keeping the guitar’s natural look completely intact without distracting from your playing.

Model overview
The unique feature of the KORG Rimpitch-C2 is that it sits exactly where your eyes naturally fall when looking at the fretboard. Unlike clip-on tuners that attach to the headstock or pedal tuners connected to your effects chain, this approach is natural and unobtrusive. Whether you’re playing at home, in a studio, or live on stage, you look at your guitar as you normally would, and the tuner simply becomes a seamless part of the instrument.
The display has a colour backlight that makes tuning intuitive. Red indicates the note is still flat or sharp, while green confirms you’re in tune. This is particularly useful for beginners who haven’t yet developed an ear for pitch, and just as valuable for professionals who want reassurance before stepping into an important performance.
Another strong point is that the tuner supports a range of acoustic guitar tunings. Working in chromatic mode, it detects any note and allows for any tuning preference. So whether you’re using standard tuning or going for something more experimental, the KORG Rimpitch-C2 is ready to help.
Its ergonomics are also noteworthy: lightweight, adaptable to different sound hole sizes, and compatible with most acoustic guitar models. Installation is quick and easy — literally a matter of seconds.
Who is it for?
The KORG Rimpitch-C2 is a great choice for anyone who plays acoustic guitar, from complete beginners to seasoned professionals. If you’re just learning your first chords, it removes the frustration of tuning and helps you fall in love with making music. Self-taught players will appreciate that it doesn’t require any special knowledge — the clear guidance is shown directly on the colour display.
If playing is your hobby, you’ll love its convenience: bring it to the countryside, to a jam session with friends, or busk outdoors — your guitar will always be in tune. Professionals will value its reliability for both recording and gigs. Producers and songwriters can save time setting up different instruments, which is often crucial in the creative process. And for session musicians, portability is key: it’s easy to carry, takes up no space, and won’t get in the way when travelling.
