ABSTRACT:
An improved tuning device for mounting upon stringed musical instruments such as the guitar, banjo, mandolin and the like. The improvement relates to providing a construction wherein the winding spindle or drum upon which the string is attached may be selectively and independently rotated on a one to one basis or on a high multiple to one basis. The one to one turning ratio is designed to be used to initially wind the string from a relaxed condition to a pre-tuned degree of tension associated with replacing worn or broken strings. The multiple tuning basis is, in typical fashion, employed to fine tune the string tension to produce the appropriate musical note.
