EverTune

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mechanism ensures constant tension on a string. It works with a lever, a pivot point and a spiral spring.

The Evertune - web is a mechanical device, a guitar string, always in the same voltage and thus also in the atmosphere holds.

The engineer and inventor Cosmos Lyles developed and patented this spring and lever system in 2006. This system may be new in its application in instrument making, but it has long been known in the world of mechanics ; Lyles just brought both worlds together.

EverTune was launched on the market in October 2010, but only as a retrofit bar. Evertune is the first time since the spring of 2011 at the GEWA-music-guitar VGS Radioactive TD-Special , a Tommy Denander - signature guitar , built in series.

The New York Times has listed the invention with the "30 innovative ideas for the year 2010".
