Not even sure why Korg would replace this model unless they found a way to make it cheaper. This thing does exactly what it's supposed to. I don't think I could recommend any tuner more than this one at it's list price. Hopefully they don't goof up the new model.
Strange, but I just received my package, and instead of the black Korg Chromatic Tuner CA-30, I received a white Korg CA-1. The description says it is the "New and Improved CA-30!". Does anyone know anything about these? Should I be mad, or glad (or maybe sad)? The CA-1 seems to be priced lower, but is it better or worse?
For nearly a decade, the Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner has stood among the top-selling tuners on the planet. Now meet the CA-1; offering the same excellent features with a new, enhanced design – all at a lower price!
Strangely, Korg has omitted web site specs for the CA-1, making a ready comparison of the two difficult. And I can't help but wonder what they did to make this new model cheaper.... I can imagine in their essence, though, the two models are probably comparable.

If they don't have the CA-30 to sell, what are they doing advertising it and taking people's money for it? This forced substitution has been going on for a while, yet even now their CA-30 offer stands. That's fraud in my book....

On their own website Brook Mays still shows the CA-30 as in stock. They list the CA-1 too.
What to do? Well, for those who aren't bothered by the substitution, I guess nothing. Personally, I would alert Amazon to the fact that they're playing unwitting host to a duplicitous seller.
I've also got an issue with Brook Mays. Several weeks back I ordered a Korg clip-on tuner mic from them, and they sent me a generic unbranded one--similar to the Korg, true, but not what they advertised and not what I paid for. They even had the audacity to affix a sticker to the product box and label it a Korg CM-100L. I sent Korg a picture, and they responded that it's not their product. I have twice emailed a protest to Brook Mays through Amazon's "contact seller" system, and they haven't acknowledged me. So I just submitted Brook Mays to the Reseller Ratings database. Once that suggested listing gets approval--it usually takes a couple of days--there'll be an open forum for comment on Brook Mays' service. And I will be contacting Amazon shortly about my own experience with this loose-jelly affiliate of theirs.
