ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a hand-held device for tensioning and stabilizing the strings of a stringed musical instrument, such as a guitar, during tuning or installation of the strings. In one embodiment, the device comprises a structure having a pair of arms that define a substantially forked or "V" shape. In use, the device is positioned against the neck of the guitar and a string is threaded between a pair of spools on at least one of the arms of the device. The device is then pivoted about an apex to lift the string away from the guitar neck and apply tension thereto during tuning or installation of the string. The device allows for easy tensioning of the string during the tuning or installation process.
