ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer for a tremolo bridge prevents disablement of an instrument in the event of string failure. An abutment, selectively actuated, serves to support and position a tremolo bridge so that pre-failure tuning of the remaining strings is maintained. A method is disclosed for stabilizing a tremolo bridge, comprising steps of determining the normal position of the bridge with strings intact and the tremolo not actuated, providing a retractable stabilizer capable of maintaining the bridge in that position, and selectively using the stabilizer to limit disabling movement of the tremolo bridge in the event of a string failure.
