I kinda figured that, and my interest was purely "theoretical"... in
other words I was just ruminating out loud, as I could see a lot of
potential in the idea -- a versatile, on the fly automated tuner on a
traditional wire and wood instrument -- even though I knew I sure
wasn't ever going to be getting one (as it's more expensive than a cup
of coffee...).
