Abstract Disclosed is a guitar string tuning device. The device comprises a tuning peg for winding therearound and unwinding therefrom a guitar string thereby to tune the guitar string, the tuning peg having a slit which is defined at an upper end thereof and a worm wheel which is formed at a lower end thereof; a housing for accommodating the tuning peg therein in a manner such that the tuning peg is maintained in an upright posture; a manipulating lever having a worm which is formed at one end thereof in a manner such that the worm enters into the housing to be meshed with the worm wheel of the tuning peg which is accommodated in the housing and a tuning handle which is formed at the other end thereof; and a clamping section for clamping the guitar string to the tuning peg which is rotated by manipulating the tuning handle, the clamping section including a clamping shaft which has a predetermined width extending in a lengthwise direction of the guitar string which is inserted through the slit of the tuning peg, the clamping section further including threadedly movable means for allowing the clamping shaft to be moved in a direction wherein the clamping shaft squeezes the guitar string against a bottom surface of the slit defined in the tuning peg.
A guitar string tuning device comprising: a tuning peg for winding therearound and unwinding therefrom a guitar string thereby to tune the guitar string, the tuning peg having a slit which is defined at an upper end thereof and a worm wheel which is formed at a lower end thereof; a housing for accommodating the tuning peg therein in a manner such that the tuning peg is maintained in an upright posture; a manipulating lever having a worm which is formed at one end thereof in a manner such that the worm enters into the housing to be meshed with the worm wheel of the tuning peg which is accommodated in the housing and a tuning handle which is formed at the other end thereof; and a clamping section for clamping the guitar string to the tuning peg which is rotated by manipulating the tuning handle, the clamping section including a clamping shaft which has a predetermined width extending in a lengthwise direction of the guitar string which is inserted through the slit of the tuning peg, the clamping section further including threadedly movable means for allowing the clamping shaft to be moved in a direction wherein the clamping shaft squeezes the guitar string against a bottom surface of the slit defined in the tuning peg.
