ABSTRACT:
This invention consists of a novel string assembly for split tuning a steel guitar or other musical instrument having pedals or levers for varying the pitch of the sounds produced by the strings as they are plucked. The mechanism of this invention allows the musician to play a particular string and produce a musical tone absent any pedal movement, the same string played with a first pedal depressed produces a second tone and with only a second pedal depressed produces a third tone. A fourth tone is then capable of being produced by the string after split tuning when both pedals are simultaneously depressed.
