Icelandic Inventor Creates Mobile Guitar Tuner

Gudmundur Freyr Jónasson, a Masters student in computer sciences at the University of Iceland, has invented a guitar tuner which can be used through mobile phones. The Iceland Review reports.

"Jónasson said it is easy to use the mobile guitar tuner. “Those who need to tune their guitars either call a service center or use a program in their cell phones. It works the same way as many games that cell phones have.”

“The program compares tones from the guitar to standardized tones. Then the variation is shown with a graphic on the cell phone’s screen,” the inventor explained.

Jónasson’s project recently received an award from the University of Iceland and he is now working on establishing a company to market his mobile guitar tuner. "
