tuners

Piano string workers

Tuners are devices or people that adjust pitch or frequency.

A piano tuner brings the instrument's strings into proper pitch.

An electronic tuner helps guitarists tune by displaying whether notes are sharp or flat.

In electronics, a tuner is the component that selects radio or television frequencies: The old stereo had a separate tuner and amplifier.

Car tuners modify vehicles for better performance.
