    can these sound samples be synthesized directly by emacs?
    single-frequency tone for 2.5sec.  how hard can it be (in elisp)?
    we have bindat.el and the CDDA standard, after all...

Just a couple of thoughts:

Just for a tuning reference pitch one doesn't need any special
timbre--one could even use the PC speaker beep, for instance.
 
And is there any reason why it couldn't be extended slightly such that
it can be used as a general tuning aide, rather than just for guitar?
After all, there are only 12 pitch-classes in standard 12tet.
