摘要： A bi-directional clamping device for string musical instruments includes a forward end closer the nut and a rearward end further the nut fashioned to be operable to receive a string inserted essentially unimpeded in a first direction, the first direction extending in the direction of the strings typically from the rearward end of the clamping device towards the nut and further fashioned to be operable to optionally receive a string inserted essentially unimpeded in a second direction, the second direction extending in the direction of the strings typically towards the rearward end of the clamping device from the nut. The arrangement further allows for larger diameter strings with taper cores, etc. to be clamped in order to meet requirements for extended range instruments.

摘要： The improved tuning mechanisms include a novel Global Tuner arrangement to extend the spring holder to comprise a lever pivotally connected to the inertia block or transverse element to additionally share, along with the thumbwheel element, the load of the counter springs element and, thereby, improve the ease of threading the thumbwheel element. In a preferred embodiment, the customary secondary spring holder is extended to provide a shaped end to facilitate pivoting such as an angled cutaway or taper at the extended end of the secondary spring holder element to provide knife-edge portions.

摘要： TREMOLO STOP is a contact pin based improvement integrated into the tremolo and/or its related parts, to adjustably make initial contact at initial position or at the zero point either in a fixed “hard stop” position that can be further adjusted to disengage from the body. The STABILIZER TUNER dynamic “soft stop” contact pin arrangement comprises a resilient element to provide a second variable force tension at the zero point of the tremolo. The contact pin is adjustable relative to the body. An adjustable stabilizer housing varies the second variable force of tension.

摘要： The Stabilizer Tuner adjustably supports a formed spring or a pre-loaded coil spring element operable to hold a variable force of tension to enforce initial position. The Tremolo Stabilizer includes a thumbwheel arrangement to variably adjust the position of an independent stabilizer arrangement. Tremolo Spring Tuner includes a pre-loaded coil spring element or formed flat spring operable to exert a first variable force of tension to contact the body with the capacity to variably support the pivoting of tremolo under the variable force of the string tension; the first force of tension is essentially equal to the force of tension provided by the strings to establish the fulcrum tremolo at initial position.

摘要： INTEGRATED PIVOT MECHANISM FOR FULCRUM TREMOLO combines the tremolo biasing element in a pre-tensioned flat spring form to provide at least one tremolo pivot axis, transverse the direction of the strings, positioned between the tremolo base plate and the body operable to hold the base plate in initial position under normal load of the force of tension created by the strings, to increase the acoustic coupling between the base plate/bridge elements and the body to provide at least one tremolo pivot axis upon which moving the traditional tremolo arm to tilt the base plate toward or away from the nut changes the harmonic and pitch tunings to mimic the unique fulcrum tremolo effect when pivoted, and, thereby, recognize a distinct species of tremolo. In a preferred arrangement, typical feature such as spring tension, string height relative to the body and intonation, etc., are adjustable. The pivot mechanism can be alternatively used to adjust the height of the bridge elements relative to the body as well as improve acoustic coupling.
