A stringed musical instrument includes a string mounting arrangement that enables multiple strings to be maintained in relative tune as the pitch of the strings is simultaneously varied. In one embodiment, a composite musical string comprises multiple segments, each segment having a different density, but the composite string will maintain substantially the same tension throughout its length. As the tension is increased or decreased, the pitch of the instrument changes, but the relative tuning between the strings remains. In another embodiment, a tuning knob simultaneously applies a different linear adjustment to adjacent strings, thus changing the tension in each string according to a relative pattern so as to maintain relative tuning between the strings.
