String tensioner for stringed instrument

A string tensioner for a musical instrument is configured to support an elongated spring beam at a first end so that the spring beam extends proximally from the first end. A second end of the spring beam can be configured to attach to a musical string that is drawn distally from the second end of the spring beam over a saddle and nut. Tension applied to the musical string bends the spring beam, and thus maintains tension in the musical string. A lever arm distance is defined between the first end of the spring beam and the string. As the musical string changes length over an operating range, the degree of bending of the spring beam changes and the lever arm distance also changes so that the tension in the musical string remains substantially the same.
