The disclosure provides an approach for tuning musical instruments. In one embodiment, a tuning application determines frequencies of a series of notes played on a brass instrument, either with open tuning or with a valve pressed. As a musician holds a last note in the series and a tuning or valve slide is moved, the tuning application determines, based on a change in frequency of the last note and the measured frequencies of the other notes in the series, the change in frequency of the other notes. The tuning application then determines a compromise tuning that minimizes the total difference between the current frequencies of the notes and known note frequencies in a frequency table or previously tuned note frequencies if any of the notes were previously tuned. Upon achieving the compromise tuning, the musician or an actuator is instructed to stop moving the tuning or valve slide. 1. A method for tuning a musical instrument , comprising:determining initial frequencies of a plurality of notes played on the musical instrument, wherein the plurality of notes share a resonant path;determining changes in frequency of one of the plurality of notes resulting from tuning adjustments made to the musical instrument;determining changes in frequencies of other notes in the plurality of notes based on the changes in frequency of the one of the plurality of notes and the initial frequencies of the other notes;determining changed frequencies of the plurality of notes based on the initial frequency of each of the notes and the determined change in frequency of the same note;determining, via one or more processors, a first tuning adjustment of the musical instrument that minimizes a sum of differences between the changed frequency of each note in the plurality of notes and a predefined frequency of the note or a frequency to which the note has previously been tuned; andeither indicating to a user to stop or automatically stopping the tuning adjustments from being made to the ...
