The next-gen automatic guitar tuner hits the right note with musicians worldwide
The Roadie 4 Kickstarter launch is off to a phenomenal start. Just hours after going live, the campaign hit its funding goal in less than 3 minutes and surpassed $100,000 in just 3.5 hours. After 24 hours, it had raised over $140,000, making it one of the most exciting music accessory launches of the year.
Developed by Band Industries, the team behind the award-winning Roadie tuners, Roadie 4 is all about speed, precision, and ease of use. Designed for guitarists, ukulele players, mandolinists, and more, Roadie 4 brings a major upgrade to the tuning experience with a smarter algorithm, improved hardware, and a brand-new scroll wheel that makes navigation faster and more intuitive than ever.
“Over the past few years, we’ve listened closely to our community,” says CTO and co-founder
Bassam Jalgha. “Roadie 4 reflects everything we’ve learned. With smarter tuning algorithms,
upgraded hardware, and a more seamless user experience, it’s the most polished and powerful
Roadie we’ve ever created.”

From electric guitars and acoustics to banjos and ukuleles, Roadie 4 tunes nearly any instrument with geared pegs, and it can also quickly wind new strings during a restring.
As CEO and co-founder Hassane Slaibi puts it:
“Roadie 4 is the smartest and most reliable Roadie we’ve ever built. It’s faster, more intuitive,
and simply a joy to use. Whether you’re just picking up an instrument or a seasoned
professional, Roadie 4 helps you sound your best, every time.”
A Trusted Name in Music Tech
Roadie tuners have a long history of crowdfunding success. Since the first Roadie launched in 2014, the company has delivered three more acclaimed products: Roadie 2, Roadie Bass, and Roadie 3. These devices have earned coverage in Guitar World, The Verge, Ultimate Guitar, and thousands of 5-star reviews from users worldwide.
Now, Roadie 4 is taking that legacy even further, with the Kickstarter community once again backing the vision. The campaign was awarded the coveted “Project We Love” badge by Kickstarter, and early press coverage is already pouring in from outlets like Gearspace, New Atlas, Guitar World, Techaeris, and Gearnews.
