ABSTRACT:
A tremolo device or tone changer for a stringed instrument includes a generally planar pivottable member on the face of the body of the instrument on which are mounted the bridge and tailpiece. The axis about which the member pivots is directed along and just below the bridge. An arm directed from the member enables manual movement of the member and consequent simultaneous tone changing of all strings. A detent mechanism locks the member in its normal position and a gas spring, located in a cavity in the body below the member, is coupled pivottally to the member for providing smooth resistance to the movement of the member.
