This is "the same" principle that Steinberger uses in their >TransTrem whammy bar (by the way, I have always thought that a >Steinberger guitar with a transtrem would make a great microtonal >instrument, since you can adjust the pitch of each string separately when >modulating to one of five new key centers). Can you elaborate (I thought the TransTrem just bent all the strings the same amount)?
