1. A musical instrument tuner comprising:
a sensor device that is attached to a musical instrument; and
an operation device that is able to perform wireless communication mutually with the sensor device,
wherein the sensor device includes:
an acceleration sensor that has at least two detection axes,
frequency detection means for detecting, as a detected frequency, a frequency of a vibration of musical sound generated through an operation of the musical instrument based on a strongest output signal from among output signals of the at least two detection axes of the acceleration sensor or a synthesized value of the output signals of the at least two detection axes of the acceleration sensor, and
sensor-side communication means for transmitting transmission information including information regarding the detected frequency to the operation device, and
the operation device includes:
operation-side communication means for receiving the transmission information transmitted from the sensor device,
display means, and
control means for generating timing information of the musical instrument and causing the display means to display the tuning information based on the transmission information received from the sensor device.
