Wherein,,nthe corresponding vibration frequency is the fundamental frequency when=1,nat other values, harmonics are each time. From the above equation, it can be seen that the vibration of the string includes a variety of frequencies, but the fundamental frequency is much stronger than the other harmonics, so it determines the frequency of the string, so the present invention calculates the string length by measuring the fundamental frequency of the string vibration. According to equation (2), the fundamental frequency of string vibration is related to the chord length, the tension of the string, and the density of the string, which is a constant for a given string.
