# Roadie Music by Band Industries

> Roadie Music, the consumer brand of Band Industries, makes pocket-size devices that listen to a string, turn an instrument's tuning peg and stop at the target pitch. Founded by engineer-musicians Hassane Slaibi and Bassam Jalgha, the company grew from a clunky oud-tuning prototype into a direct-to-consumer hardware line spanning automatic tuners, a string winder, a metronome and the Roadie Coach practice recorder. Its repeatable trick is not merely automation: Roadie uses crowdfunding campaigns as a product-development loop, then sells through its own store and major music retailers.
