ideally, there is no noise coming from the other strings. The player plucks/picks a single string, there should be no noise or vibration coming from the other strings, which is quite manageable. Unless strumming a properly tuned chord, multiple strings played would generally be indecipherable gibberish for the tuner.

What other guitar accessories would you call essential for anyone? Are our guitar picks necessary?

Tell me!
I'm not sure if it's my Asperger's or an attention disorder, but I just can't do it.
When plucking spokes, I can tell they sound different, but I can't remember which is higher, assuming they are somewhat close. I can filter out the "thuds & thunks", but if they "twang", I'm screwed. The harmonics of crossing spokes really throw me off too.
Getting somebody to believe me? I don't expect them to because it doesn't even make sense to me.

instead of plucking the spoke, try striking the spoke, with a plastic handle of a screwdriver... works for pianos... they replaced the harpsichord.
and yes, it will work better than a tensometer... as long as the harmonics don't interfere with your tuner's accuracy too much.
