1. A computer program product, comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions being configured such that, when executed by one or more processors, the computer program instructions cause the one or more processors to:

  • receive fretting data representing fretting hand positions for strings of a stringed instrument;

    receive a bend signal for a first string of the stringed instrument, the bend signal representing an inductance that varies with bending of the first string and indicating that the first string is bent parallel to a top surface of the stringed instrument, the bend signal being generated independently of the fretting data;

    determine a fundamental frequency estimate for the first string using the fretting data for the first string; and

    modify the fundamental frequency estimate for the first string using the bend signal.
