This is known as a strobe tuner. It uses a strobe, just like the thing on fancy record players to check turntable speed. They are generally quite expensive.

A quick search on Google for "strobe tuner" led me straight to the beer bottle organ:

I hate to reveal my ignorance, but I'm looking for a
very specific kind of tuner, and I can't remember what
they're called. It's the kind of tuner you might find
in a high school band room. Big, square, with a disc
that spins. In my head it's similar to the way you
check if a record is turning at the correct speed. When you're in tune, you see a solid line, etc etc.

Tuning an autoharp is hard work.

Thanks.
