tuner thingie
Oct. 25th, 2006 10:59 pmI went to the local Guitar Center to wander about and pick up some more strings. It turns out the current special is buy five packs of strings, get a little tuner thingie "free." Why not?
This thing looks like a guitar pick that got really fat and grew two LEDs and a control wheel. The idea is you set it for the string you want to tune and shine the lights on the string. They flash at the note's correct frequency, so you should see the string slowly wiggling by stroboscopic effect. It is somewhat cool to play with. Could you actually tune a guitar with it? I don't know. I suppose![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
markiv1111 could, by simply tuning it himself first, then allowing any physics-student passers-by to play with the strobe effect.
