ABSTRACT:
A tremolo system for a stringed musical instrument, comprising an arm member rotatably connected to the instrument body; a first fluid member, operatively connected to the arm member, for moving a bridge of the instrument in response to rotation of the arm member so as to change a pitch of a tone generated by the instrument; and a mechanism for rotating the arm member relative to the instrument so that rotation of the arm member in a first direction substantially raises a pitch of a tone generated by the instrument, and rotating the arm member in a second direction substantially lowers the pitch of a tone generated by the instrument.
