The subject matter of the present invention is a vibrato device which can be used in most stringed musical instruments as an integral unit to effectively vary and return the instrument to pitch/in tune. The vibrato device can include a plurality of flush tension springs, a mounting plate and a pivoting element to change the tension of the strings and change tune accordingly. Additionally, the combination of the mounting plate and pivoting bridge element can allow for easy interchangeable parts when desired and for strings to stay in pitch in the event one or more strings break.
