摘要

The "AUTRY TREMOLO" is a guitar tremolo that differs immensely from the guitartremolos used today. The "AUTRY TREMOLO" is activated by a paddle fixed to therear of thebridge. Pressure on the paddle activates the tremolos spring mechanism. Twotension springs areattached to the paddle down through the guitar body to a lower hanger andtension adjusting bolt.The tremolo operates on two hinge blocks that are drilled for mounting on theguitar. The housing isdrilled at the rear to accept adjustable bridge saddles and allow rear stringloading.The trem setter consists of a hanger fixed to the paddle with an adjustingscrew. This is tocontrol the height of the tremolo, and allow proper tension on the adjustingscrew. Approximately ahalf a pound of pressure eliminates string pitch variation that may be causedby temperature, or slighthand pressure on the paddle.
