A tuning device for a stringed musical instrument comprising a socket to
receive a peg of the instrument, a shaft rotatably connected to the
socket, a motor to induce rotation of the shaft, a first gear to reduce
the shaft rotation and increase torque from the motor, the first gear
being engaged to the motor, a second gear to exponentially reduce the
reduced shaft rotation, the second gear being engaged between the shaft
and the first gear, a cutter to trim a string of the instrument, and a
housing to cover and protect the shaft, the motor, and the gears, where
the cutter is attached to the housing opposing the socket.
