Re: Tremol-No

Googled it and found http://www.tremol-no.com and watched the demo
videos. This is a great thing for a studio guitarist! One example is
playing country licks on a floating bar strat. You typically pull up
one string while holding one or two others not pulled. The tension
from the pulled-up string interacts with the mechanics to lower the
pitch of all strings, including the ones you play non-pulled. The way
I have been forced to do this - on a floating bar strat - is to
compensate for that by pulling up the pitch just a little with the
wammy bar as I pull the string. May sound cool if you use the whammy
for an additional vibrato but it is not pure country style. But when
setting the tremol-no to fixed it will behave just like a non-floating
strat. Nice.
