ABSTRACT:
A tremolo device for a stringed instrument such as a guitar in which a reelable member is provided to which the ends of the instrument strings are connected. Said reelable device includes a tremolo arm for oscillating the reelable device in one direction and return springs for restoring the reelable device in the opposite direction to provide a tremolo effect under the control of the operator. The reelable device comprises a plurality of arcuate members, each individual to one of the strings with the radius of curvature of each arcuate member being smaller for the largest diameter spring and larger for the smallest diameter string and varying appropriately in between. Other effects may also be produced in that the arcuate curvature may be other than a simple arc.
