Abstract

See full text

A tuning device (30) uses a stroboscopic light source for tuning musical instruments (12). The stroboscopic light source is programmable according to the musical instrument being tuned. A first control button (34) on the tuner programs the stroboscopic light source. A second control button (36) enables the stroboscopic light source. A display (38) indicates the state of the stroboscopic light source. A utility device (32) is integrated with the tuner. The utility device can be a key ring, lighter, utility tool, pin light, cell phone, card, watch, jewelry, or audio amplifier. The utility device has a secondary function, which is independent and apart from the tuning activity associated with the musical instrument. The second function of the utility device provides convenience, accessibility, and increases the likelihood that the user will have the tuning device available when needed.
