Instrument Identity • Provenance • Registry

A registry for the identity of wooden instruments

ToneProof captures the unique wood grain signature of an instrument and anchors it to a registry record — helping musicians, collectors, builders, and shops document provenance and verify identity over time.

Public registry lookup is available to all users. Photo-based wood-grain verification and documentation sessions require sign-in.

Verify an Instrument

Check whether an instrument already has a ToneProof registry record. Enter a Seal Code or compare a wood grain image against the registry.

Partner Registry

Builders, luthiers, and partner shops create origin records when an instrument enters the registry, anchoring its identity from the start.

Access Partner Registry

Owner Documentation

Create a structured record of an instrument’s current condition through a guided session. Ideal for collectors, sellers, and insurance documentation.

Schedule Documentation

When visible, wood grain signatures can be captured and linked to registry records to support future verification. This step may be completed before a documentation session.

How ToneProof Works

Every wooden instrument has a naturally unique grain pattern. ToneProof captures that pattern and anchors it to a registry record so the instrument can be identified and verified over time.

Capture Grain

Capture Grain

A clear photo of the instrument’s wood surface is captured during enrollment or verification.

Create Grain Signature

Create Grain Signature

ToneProof analyzes the wood grain pattern and creates a unique signature that represents the instrument’s identity.

Registry Record

Registry Record

The grain signature is stored in the ToneProof registry along with the instrument’s enrollment details.

Future Verification

Future Verification

Years later the same instrument can be verified by comparing new photos against the registry record.
