Abstract: A kit for automatically tuning a string musical instrument such as a guitar, violin, cello, viola, etc., includes a controller, a tail piece for attachment to the string musical instrument, a string tension adjustment mechanism, a pickup for detecting the vibration frequency of the string and producing a pickup signal corresponding to the vibration frequency, and a motorized wrench controlled by a control signal received from the controller, the motorized wrench being engageable with the string tension adjustment mechanism. The pickup signal is communicated to the controller, which sends a signal to the motorized wrench to adjust the tension of the string.

Abstract: A tuning system is described for automatically tuning a musical instrument having adjustment means for changing the frequency of a musical tone produced by a musical string of the musical instrument. The tuning system of the present invention is useful with respect to a wide variety of musical instruments, e.g., string instruments such as, guitars, harps, pianos, etc., and other instruments. A tuning system is operative to selectively tune a musical string of a stringed musical instrument to a user selected predetermined frequency value.
