ABSTRACT:
The PEG BENDER is a small mechanical device that can be used on many stringed musical instruments. This device, mounted entirely on a special long-shafted tuning peg, is easily installed on most guitars, banjos, and four or five string mandolins. The PEG BENDER enables a musician to make extra note changes on that particular string in which it is employed, by merely pressing down or releasing the instrument's neck, thus tightening or loosening the activating cable between the PEG BENDER and the instrument's support strap. The extra note changes achieved with the PEG BENDER can be easily performed while still playing the instrument in a normal manner.
