ToneProof uses AI to analyze the unique wood grain signature of instruments. With just a phone or tablet, you can instantly confirm authenticity or register a new instrument — protecting musicians, shops, and collectors from counterfeits.
How ToneProof Works:
Musicians use ToneProof to instantly authenticate gear before buying. Just point your phone at the instrument, and our AI confirms whether it matches the ToneProof Registry. No more second-guessing or worrying about counterfeits.
Music shops and luthiers use ToneProof to register instruments into the secure Registry. Each guitar, bass, or other wood grain instrument receives a unique digital signature that proves its authenticity for life.
This creates a trusted ecosystem where:
Counterfeit instruments are a growing problem that hurt musicians, shops, and builders alike. ToneProof uses AI to turn every guitar’s wood grain into a unique digital signature — impossible to fake and easy to verify.
By checking instruments against the ToneProof Registry, buyers can shop with confidence, shops can protect their reputation, and luthiers can safeguard their craft. Together, we’re building a global standard for authentic instruments.

Music Shops
As a shop owner, your reputation depends on trust. Customers need to know the instruments hanging on your wall are authentic, and when you sell a guitar, you want that proof to follow the buyer for years. Counterfeits undermine sales, hurt margins, and erode trust in the entire industry.
ToneProof makes authentication effortless. Register instruments at the point of sale so every guitar leaves your store with digital proof of authenticity. Shoppers see the ToneProof seal and instantly know they can trust you. By adopting ToneProof early, your shop isn’t just selling instruments — you’re leading the fight against counterfeits and setting a new standard for transparency in the music industry.
Luthiers
Every instrument you build carries your name and reputation in its wood. But once it leaves your bench, you have little control over how it’s represented or resold. Counterfeits don’t just steal sales — they steal your identity as a builder.
ToneProof gives you a way to protect your craft. By registering each instrument you create into the ToneProof registry, every buyer — today or years from now — can instantly confirm it’s your work. It’s more than authentication; it’s a digital signature of your craftsmanship that protects your legacy.
When you buy a guitar, bass, or any wooden instrument, you’re not just buying gear — you’re investing in tone, history, and craftsmanship. Unfortunately, the global market for counterfeit instruments is growing fast, with fake guitars flooding pawn shops, classifieds, and even online retailers. These counterfeits often look convincing, but they’re built with inferior materials that affect tone and value.
ToneProof gives you peace of mind. With a quick scan of the wood grain using your phone, you’ll know instantly whether the instrument is authentic. No more second guessing, no more risky purchases — just confidence that the money you’re spending is on the real thing.
