It has been a long time since my last meeting with those brilliant guys: "Bassam Jalgha and Hassan Slaibi". We first met in LambaLabs [Hackerspace] where I used to attend and participate in most of the events. Today, whenever you see their names on the net, your eyes perk up and you immediately tune out whatever you are doing to switch to a whole new world of technology..The Roadie Smart Tuner.
What has been said about Roadie
Roadie is an automatic tuner for any stringed instrument that uses the iPhone to listen to your guitar and a motorized accessory that turns the machine head to exactly the right position. - Techcrunch
Roadie will tune your guitar faster than most experienced players, helps you wind and unwind your strings, and will even let you quickly switch between tunings. - uncrate.com
... the user plucks the string, the app does the listening, and the Roadie Tuner, placed over a guitar peg, quickly adjusts the string tension. The app can store multiple custom tunings for quick adjustments between songs. It can even and track multiple guitars to determine string wear and alert the user to replace a string before it breaks. Roadie’s developers—a robotics engineer, Bassam Jalgha, and an audio processing engineer, Hassan Slaibi, who hail from Beirut, Lebanon—say the little robot can tune a guitar in less than 30 seconds. - IEEE Spectrum
[Gibson vs. Roadie] An idea may exist, but uniqueness, what really matters !
Gibson already has its own automatic tuning system, but Roadie will work with just about any guitar as well as stringed instruments that use similar pegs - The next web
