Embodiment Construction

[0046] figure 1 Represents a typical solid six-string electric guitar, the whole of which is represented by reference numeral 10, with a tremolo bridge 11. The guitar 10 includes a body 12 to which a neck portion 13 is rigidly connected. A head 14 is rigidly connected to the end of the neck 13, in which a tuning pin 15 is arranged.

[0047] Tremolo bridge 11 is positioned in the hole 16 in the body 10, and tremolo bridge 11 comprises bridge plate 17, is connected with a block 18 on its underside, is provided with 6 slide plates 19 on its upper side. The leading edge 17a of the bridge plate 17 is received in a groove 20 provided on an abutment 21, which generally consists of two grooved posts. Elastically deformable elements such as one or more helical springs 22 are connected between the lower end of the block 18 and the wall 16a of the hole 16 for forcing the tremolo bridge 11 to rotate clockwise, as figure 1 shown.

[0048] The guitar includes a plurality of strings 23 ....

Abstract

A tuning means for a stringed instrument having one or more strings comprising detection means to provide a signal in response to vibration of the or each string and actuating means to vary the tension of the or each string under the control of an analysis means in response to said signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tuning device for tuning a stringed instrument, a guitar including the tuning device, and a method of tuning a stringed instrument, such as but not limited to an electric guitar. Background technique [0002] The sound produced by a musical instrument can be considered to be composed of two elements, pitch or note, and timbre, which characterizes the instrument being played. Differences in sound quality are easily recognized by the human ear, such as the sound of a piano and a violin playing the same tune. This difference in tone quality is due to differences in the complex mixture of harmonics caused by the structure of the instruments, and the fact that the human ear recognizes two tones played on different instruments as the same tone is due to its The fundamental frequencies (harmonics are multiples of the fundamental) are the same. [0003] Significant improvements in design have allowed some instruments to rel...
