Abstract
Disclosed is a torsion based tremolo apparatus that uses a cylinder assembly to rotate part of the tremolo apparatus relative to a baseplate. The baseplate is used to mount the tremolo apparatus to a musical instrument, such as a guitar. A bridge string support assembly is coupled to the baseplate and, combined with a string holder, supports a string of the musical instrument. A torsion device is positioned to impart torsional force on the cylinder assembly relative to the baseplate. The string holder is coupled to the cylinder assembly and rotates when the cylinder assembly is rotated.
