Abstract
An apparatus for hanging an instrument includes a wall plate, an axial arm, and a yoke. The wall plate is configured to secure the apparatus to a wall or other suitable surface. The axial arm extends axially between the wall plate and the yoke. The yoke is configured to receive at least a portion of an instrument. The apparatus also includes a humidistat disposed on a surface of the wall plate opposite the wall or other suitable surface. The humidistat is configured to display a relative humidity value corresponding to an amount of water vapor in the atmosphere proximate the instrument.
Claims20
An apparatus for hanging an instrument, the apparatus comprising:
- a wall mount adapted to secure the apparatus to mountable surface;
- a yoke adapted engage a bore extending through the wall mount, the yoke being adapted to receive at least a portion of an instrument;
- an axial arm that extends from the yoke and is configured to secure the yoke to the wall mount;
- at least one sensor disposed on the wall mount configured to measure at least one characteristic;
- and
- a tuning mechanism configured to measure at least one frequency and to output, to a display, an indication of the at least one measured frequency.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive sensor data from a sensor of an instrument hanger;
- determine whether to generate at least one indication based on the sensor data;
- receive at least one frequency generated by an instrument;
- communicate the at least one frequency to a tuning mechanism;
- receive, from the tuning mechanism, an output including an indication of the at least one frequency and an indication of a sharpness or flatness of the at least one frequency;
- in response to a determination to generate the at least one indication, generate the at least one indication based on the sensor data;
- and
- provide, for display, the at least one indication and the output indication.
A method for generating a tuning indication for an instrument, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a sensor of an instrument hanger;
- determining whether to generate at least one indication based on the sensor data;
- receiving at least one frequency generated by an instrument;
- communicating the at least one frequency to a tuning mechanism;
- receiving, from the tuning mechanism, an output including an indication of the at least one frequency and an indication of a sharpness or flatness of the at least one frequency;
- in response to a determination to generate the at least one indication, generating the at least one indication based on the sensor data;
- and
- providing, for display, the at least one indication and the output indication.
