Tuning mechanism for stringed musical instrument - has hinged block with string holder forming arm adjustable for angle

摘要

Each string is anchored by a spring clip, whose frictional resistance gives a constant initial tension maintained by a fastener.Tensioning is carried out by a mechanism with a base plate (62) on which is a string support (74) with a front block (76), while a rear block (78) hinges on the latter. The rear block has a string holder, and forms a swing arm (96) adjustable for angle to give the desired tuning.The strings can be anchored in a base contg. horizontal grooves for them,extending in the lengthwise direction and in which the fasteners also fit. USE/ADVANTAGE - For guitars etc.,with a single tensioning movement for tuning.
