Thumbs down Korg Rimpitch - save your money.

I only used it a few times and it fell apart. As a tuner, it's decent but no calibration and only the standard E A D G B E notes are available. It's a cool idea but it has to be made sturdier. I was gentle with mine, too. Skip this one and save your money, or go for a Snark or D'Addario/PW micro for the same price.

How did it fall apart and are you going to claim it under warranty with Korg?

Yes, I would never buy a non-chromatic tuner. I never even tune up to concert pitch anyway, so it would be totally useless!

Korg Rimpitch sounds like the name of a James Bond villain:

"Do do you expect me to tune my guitar with this, Rimpitch?

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

It just fell apart when I was putting on my Alvarez. The rubber slipped off the clips and the clips fell off the plastic. I'm not going to bother with the warranty. I'll just chalk it up to a loss.
