2unify Stand

Agreed. This is a great example of technology seeking a problem... Maybe a neat one-off but doesn't seem viable for a specific customer market.

@boltfeedback Thanks for your message! Music stores, Music Schools, Concert Venues, and Recording Studios all have a large volume of guitars (80+) that need to be tuned quickly and accurately. Ensuring large volumes of guitars stay in tune in a covid-friendly way, while enabling the employees/performers to perform their main job function is essential for these businesses. The annual salary of an official guitar tuner is $50k and our stand is a one-time purchase (annual savings for businesses). Tuning by ear in loud environments has also been a problem previously expressed by our customers. Our stand offers custom tuning standards (ex. Tom's Tune) for bands that play regularly and need to switch to different standards (especially in concerts). By having the guitar in the stand when not in use, you can ensure it is ready-to-play at pre-programmed times. Feel free to message me if you have any additional questions!

Right on. I think your video might have done a better job showing people who need to tune large numbers of instruments since watching it gave me the impression that this is intended for the individual musician.

@chrismessina Hi Chris thanks for your message! After speaking with many guitarists and musicians, the consensus was that they want their guitar in its free form. Having built-in devices is uncomfortable and forces guitarists to change their behavior. For instance, we had a guitarist who over tuned his guitar because his guitar tightened the string without him realizing it. Having a solution that does not alter the integrity of the guitar itself has proven to be the best option.

Just seems like this product is super bulky and not portable...

@chrismessina Thanks for your message. The stand would rarely need to be moved in places like guitar stores, practice rooms, and recording studios. Our team is definitely designing new models that can be folded for transportation, if needed.
