Abstract
A tremolo device for a stringed instrument includes internal walls of a string inserting hole and a through hole of a base communicating with the string inserting hole formed by sloped surfaces and along a direction of extension of a string. The string can be extended freely through the through hole and the string inserting hole without contact with the insides of such holes, so that the string can be tautly extended in a straight line between a string engaging part and a pedestal. Thus, it is possible to prevent strings from being broken due to frictional wear and habitual deformation due to continuous folding.
