This automatic tuner just takes seconds to accurately tune any string based musical instrument!

Posted on by

Have you ever attended a gig where you cheer on the artist when they come onstage and then awkwardly wait for 10 minutes while they tune their instruments? Not that anyone is getting aggressively mad about it but it certainly isn’t the best thing to keep your audience waiting when it could have been avoided by using a more efficient tuning process. Roadie3 is an automatic multi-instrument tuner that saves you time without compromising on the accuracy – let’s turn it up!

Designed to make tuning faster than ever for musicians, Roadie3 works on multiple instruments effortlessly as long as they have geared pegs like electric guitars, acoustic guitars, classical guitars with nylon strings, pedal steel guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, banjos, to name a few. “We have also seen musicians tune their lap steel guitars, bouzouki, mountain dulcimer, santoor, cigar box guitar, qanun with geared pegs, violins with planetary pegs, and many other exotic instruments including custom ones with the Roadie range,” says the team behind the clever musical innovation.

Roadie3 is carefully crafted with proprietary audio algorithms that heighten its vibration detection and enhance noise immunity which contributes to accurate tuning. It doesn’t get easier than this – just place the device on the tuning peg, it will listen to the vibrations of your guitar string, analyze its pitch, and automatically turn the peg to get your string into perfect tune. The lowest note it can detect is 27 hertz and can wind your new string to tension with an impressive motor speed of 120 RPM before tuning it. It saves so much time and effort when you play in a group and avoids lengthy sound checks before a performance. Even if something goes wrong with the tune, Roadie3 can fix it in seconds!

It can be used by a musician of any experience level. The key features include 100+ built-in tunings while allowing you to create your custom ones, fit any instrument with geared pegs, noise immunity that allows you to tune in loud places, a vibrating metronome mode, and more in just one portable, travel-friendly device. Roadie3 helps you to take your show on a bump-free road!

The Roadie 2 gives you no excuse for an out-of-tune guitar

I have what has been described as a "really crappy guitar." It's not even mine. It belongs to my friend who, before handing it to me, said, "yeah, I let my kid hit this thing with stuff. Also, I've never changed the strings." It seemed like the perfe...

Use Your Car to String up Your Hammock

Hammocks are a great way to relax, whether in your backyard or when you are camping. But what if you can’t find two good trees to string your hammock to? Well, if you have your car nearby, it’s no problem with the Roadie Car Hammock Stand.

This clever solution comes from Eagle Nest Outfitters, and is actually a pair of vertical supports held in place by the weight of your vehicle. Just put each in front of the tires on one side of your car, and then drive it forward so that the tires are resting on each base. You now have a hammock stand guaranteed not to fall over. Time to lay back and relax.

It will cost you $200(USD), but that’s a small price to pay for relaxation anywhere.

Roadie tunes your guitar for you, tells you when your strings are about to break (hands-on)

Posted on by

Unless you've traded your guitar strings for an axe-shaped MIDI controller, tuning your guitar is probably one of those chores you've just learned to deal with. It's hardly the bane of any guitarist's existence, but sometimes it seems like there could just be a faster, more brainless way to get your instrument ready to jam. Turns out, there is.

Roadie positions itself as the next generation of guitar tuners. Think of it like a modern String Master, a device that fits snugly over your instrument's tuning pegs and does the hard part for you. Paired with a companion smartphone app, Roadie listens your guitar's strings and turns its gears until the instrument is on key. We dropped by the team's table at Haxlr8r, and the process was dead easy, quickly tuning a demo guitar without breaking a string. In fact, it's designed not to -- by comparing a string's elasticity with its frequency, the device can actually warn you when your guitar's wires are about to break. Not a bad trick, particularly for guitarists (like this editor) that aren't completely sure when their instrument was last restrung. The device's Kickstarter page has already more than half of its $60,000 goal, and has a little over a month left to get the rest. Looking for a way to chip in (and to avoid guitar maintenance)? Check out the source link below; Roadie tuners start at $79.
