Tuner/Pickup Organization

Posted by TunerUser on 3/24/2026, 9:08 am

Hey all,

What's your storage solution for Korg TM-70 tuner/met combos w/ pickups?

I have a class set we use with our different bands on a Title 1 MS campus, (all kids can't afford to purchase these individually) and I'm looking for a way to store them for the different classes that students can wrap them up, put them away for the next class and then that class can grab and go as well.

Looking to be as organized as possible, and also protect them as much as possible from premature wear.

I'm thinking over the door shoe organizers would work, but does anyone know good ones that would last? Or have y'all found an even better solution?

Need to store about 60 tuners.

TIA!

We currently use Chair Covers to store a tuner, a clip, pencils, and a highlighter on the back of the chairs. Just have each class put them back every period.

We have a tuner caddy on each stand. The tuner stays on the stand all day. See if there is Title 1 money available to pay for them.

cut out the middle man and just put some heavy duty velcro on the stand and the back of the tuner. ours have survived all year. teach the kids to clip the pickup mic on the stand after every rehearsal.

We use something similar: Calculator pouches that you can either hang over the door, or put a couple of hooks in the wall (they usually have rings at the top).
That has worked better than anything else. Phone pouches are usually a little bit smaller and its a tight fit with the pickups wrapped around the metronome.

We use shoe pouches. Each tuner is numbered and labeled with kids' names for each class period, and the pockets are numbered. Kids are responsible for taking their tuner out at the start of class and putting it back in the correct pocket at the end.
