On a guitar, the bridge has six springs and levers, one for each of a guitar's six strings,[2] such that "when a string stretches or slips, the springs apply the opposing force necessary to compensate for the shift, thus maintaining the correct tension and tuning."[5] In theory, the device can work with any stringed instrument, according to the inventors.[3] The mechanism has been patented. A guitar with one installed is no longer tuned by turning the pegs at the end of the guitar's neck but rather with a screw on the bridge.[2]
