  • Patent number: 9601098
    Abstract: The present application includes a system configured to tune multiple instrument simultaneously. The system includes a plurality of frequency sensors, each in communication with a single instrument. The frequency sensor senses a pitch played from the respective instrument and transmits that pitch frequency to a single tuner for processing. The tuner compares each pitch frequency to a base reference. The base reference for each instrument may be different depending on the pitch played by the instruments. The pitch frequency is compared to the base reference and a deviation is produced. The deviation is transmitted and displayed on a readout for use by the musician to make adjustments to the instrument based upon the deviation. An additional readout is also provided to a third party operator for viewing.
