ABSTRACT:
A counter-force mechanism is provided for use with a stringed instrument, such as a pedal guitar, which neutralizes the adverse effects on adjoining strings during the sharpening or flattening of notes. In one embodiment the counter-force mechanism is affixed to the tone changer axle near the pickup and in another embodiment the counter-force mechanism is affixed at the opposite end to the head of the guitar in contact with the strings. Pull and push rods connected to the foot pedals and knee levers operate the counter-force mechanism automatically as the pedals and levers are used, as is standard while playing.
