From what I read of the reviews it's just the thing if equal
temperment is your goal. It will accept *one* other temperment that
you'll have to input yourself. From a review on Amazon:
"We specifically wanted a tuner that could do non-equal temperament
(if you don't know what I mean by that, then this review might not be
very helpful to you). This one is programmable, so I figured it would
be fine... We'll mostly do 1/4 comma meantone, it's probably a pre-
programmed setting.
No. There are no preprogrammed settings. And you can only store one
"program", so I hope we don't want to try a different tuning any time
soon. Furthermore, there was no feature to tune one octave and copy
those settings to other octaves, so I had to make a spreadsheet,
calculate all of the cents displacements for all of the octaves, and
individually add each one. As I said, I hope we don't want to try a
different tuning any time soon...."
I won't be running out to get one.

It is being sold by many dealers online too.

Yes, Thomann has it even cheaper which makes me think even more if
I really need those other features. LCA120 has a line in too. The
accuracy should be the same as it is meant for orchestral
instruments. The design is really nice and handy - after folding it
fits easily in any jacket pocket and can be kept safely on a music
stand (as it is flat). Big screen makes it even more convenient for
a concert situation. My main concern is preset programming feature
which I haven't had opportunity to try. Otherwise it looks to me
like everything I need during a concert or rehearsal. But obviously
anyone of you that had any experience with LCA120 is welcomed to
comment. I know OT120, it is good but not absolutely necessary in
my opinion. The main reason for not using cheaper equivalents was a
lack of temperament presets. LCA 120 has it (once you programme
it). So...
Anyway, thanks for a post

On Thomann:
OT120 - 91 euro
LCA120 - 30 euro
It means it is 3x cheaper.
Obviously the OT120 has much more features.
I use OT120 from 2007 and it was perfect for all situations and
all
instruments including Harpsichord, Positif Organ, Viola da Gamba,
Violin, Baroque flute and all my lutes and guitars.It also has
line in
and out for more electric and amplified signal.
But hey, that's my opinion...
Good luck,
Caius

Anyone using Korg LCA-120? I just wonder if the difference
between this
model and OT-120 is worth paying almost twice as much money. My
first
impression is that what is unique for OT-120 is "Sound back"
mode and
eight presets for historical temperaments, however one can
programme
his own presets in LCA-120, so in this respect the difference
doesn't
seem to be huge. On the other hand LCA-120 is very handy, flat
and has
a big LCD which is very good for a concert situation.
Any thoughts?
All best
Jaroslaw
