FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: tune stabiliser for tremolo mechanism for a stringed musical instrument has a lever mounted on the housing of the instrument with possibility of changing tension of the strings for performing tremolo. One arm of the lever can interact with one end of a shaft spring-loaded in the longitudinal direction, where the spring can change tension. The device has a ring clamp fitted using a spring pre-stretched on a standard brace on the musical instrument for hooking standard springs of the tremolo mechanism which compensate for tension of the strings. The ring clamp can perform angular displacement, where the support point of the ring clamp on the brace is a hinge, and on the opposite support plane on the side, the ring clamp has a retention screw for fixing the shaft of the rod entering the opening of the ring clamp. The shaft of the rod is rigidly attached to the ring clamp on one side, and the other end of the rod rests on a support plug inserted into the groove of the support, due to a pre-compressed spring in the opening of the support. The support itself lies inside the pre-stretched spring and is pressed to the lever of the tremolo mechanism. One end of the pre-stretched spring is attached to the support plug, and the other end of the pre-stretched spring is attached in the standard opening of the tremolo mechanism.
EFFECT: invention provides prolonged stabilisation of tune, and prevents detuning of a musical instrument during playing and using a tremolo mechanism.
