  • Tremolo device for a stringed musical instrument
    Patent number: 6875911
    Abstract: A tremolo device for a stringed instrument comprising a base adapted to attach to an associated stringed instrument. A plurality of adjustable string supports are pivotally attached to the base. Each of the supports supports a string of the associated stringed instrument, wherein each of the string supports includes a surface configured such that 1 degree of rotation of the support in relation to the base results in a change in length of the string equal to l, a constant, multiplied by the change in length of the string that resulted from the preceding 1 degree of rotation. The tremolo device can accurately bend and/or modify the chords made by such stringed instrument.
