CTS-5-CA The classic
The classic among the CTS tuners, the CTS-5-C, has been updated and is now called CTS-5-CA. Inexpensive despite all the features of a professional tool.
Updated in 2020, the instrument continues to operate with a very high accuracy of 0.1 cents (1/1000 semitone step). Display is illuminated, making it easy to read when used in dark corners. Fixed programmed are now 70 common historical tunings/temperaments. Furthermore, the instrument has a freely programmable program location for your own tuning system. This allows you to either save an existing temperament or to fix a modified historical temperament for your tuning practice for the future.
Newly, the instrument is now equipped with 4 rechargeable batteries that can be charged in the instrument with the included power supply. With one charge you can work 16 - 20 hours independent of the mains. Housing in proven form also for safe standing.
Please note the available brochures and data sheets also in comparison to the other CTS tuners.
