Can you imagine that for oud ?


Yes I know, you'll say it's an obsession for me, make the tuning easier.
Here is an auto tuning system for guitar.

Click on PRODUCTS on the menu on the left
There is a link for download on the right.

Very funny to see the pegs moving alone !

That's really neat Microber. Thanks for sharing. They must weigh an incredible amount. But on electric guitar who would notice? I think the closest thing for the oud would be the Pegheds tuner. Of course, not automatic, but very easy to use. I've seen a couple ouds with this, and it's a very nice option.

Excuse me Jameel but my english is not so good.
What is "pegheds tuner" ?
Do you mean mechanical pegs like the guitar ?

Happy to see that a luthier is interrested by this kind of research.
