We had one of these when I was in high school, back in 1970.  It was a strobe
wheel in front of a neon bulb.  There were different scale on the wheel,
similar to what you have on a turntable rim.  There was a switch knob to
adjust the speed of the motor for various notes.  Depending on what octave
you played, different strobe wheels would 'travel' in different directions
depending on if you were flat or sharp.  I think most music stores have
a device of this kind.  Actually, it shouldn't be too hard to build something
digital that would do the same thing.
