Abstract
An even tuning tremolo system for a stringed musical instrument has a body, a neck extending from the body, and strings having a neck end, a body end, and a body end portion extending from the body end. A nut and bridge define the vibrating portion of the strings. A tremolo tail piece pivots about a pivot point and anchors one end of each string while varying the absolute pitch of the strings and maintaining the relative pitch of the strings during pivoting. The strings are anchored at different relative lever angles, the lever angle defined as the lever angle formed between the body end portion of the string and a line segment between the body end of the string and the pivot point.
