Totally over-designed!

Where is the sense?

Schaller?

Godd idea, but quite hard funcion.

Burns Tremolo: not a bad thought, but it doesn't hold the zero position.

Catalyst

Fender Coronado Trem: Wow, the leaf spring! I think the Müller company already had that before.

Crucianelli Trem: Leaf spring underneath.

A lot of tecnique!

What a monster!

Crucianelli Long Trem: Duesenberg inspiration?

DDR-Tremolo: The tailpiece sits at the back with a knife edge and moves horizontally. But it does not work sufficiently!

Duesenberg

Duesenberg Vibromaster with leaf spring. Very defined and secure!

Duesenberg Vibromaster

EKO Short Trem: Works!

EKO Trem: Interesting construction! The tailpiece moves horizontally back and forth when the tremolo is activated.

ESP Flicker: Early 80s. The very first Fender Strat tremolo replacement. Works great!

ESP Flicker

Floyd-type: One of many of these colossuses!

Framus HIFI Trem: Müller Company. Works. But HIFI?

Framus Trem with wooden cover over the return spring. Does not work at all! No defined zero position!

Framus Trem : Müller Company. Works perfectly!

Framus

Galanti

Gemelli Trem: Works perfectly! Knife edges. Only too narrow string spacing.

German Trem: Müller? Not a beauty. But works in any case.

Gibson

Gretsch Bigsby "B3": Nice. But poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.

Gretsch Hand Trem: Clamps the strings between tailpiece and bridge. Absolutely useless!

Hand-ball trem: From whoever. Doesn't work at all!

mechanism

Hoefner Trem: sintered bearing bushes. Works great, only poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.

Hoefner / Roger trem: Works great here.

Hoefner trem: On many solid bodies. Mounted underneath the body for good string pressure on the bridge. Respect!

Ibanez

Ibanez very old: Hard, but works.

Inter-Mark Trem: Japanese. Design a little bit scampi-like. But it works.

Jolanda Trem: Has something! Just the string pressure again.

Kahler tremolo: A classic with a lot of weight.

Klira Trem: A masterpiece of the Müller Company. Everything hand milled and bent. Ball bearings, best function!

Klira (Müller & Sohn)

ROKO (Kolb) Trem: Probably the first German Bigsby copy. Works!

Müller & Sohn

Meazzi, beautiful but no use

Meazzi Tremolo: Inside is a torsion bar as "return spring. Very stiff and weak pressure of the strings on the bridge.

Meazzi cheap tremolo: Better not!

Hopf?

Migma Trem: GDR. Not beautiful, but it works.

Mosrite Tremolo: not very zero-positioned!

Mosrite Trem: Very chic, but does not necessarily hold the zero position.

A Mosrite Trem with an imaginary "Trans-Trem" function. But unfortunately useless, especially because of the high E-string!

Rockinger Black Box: My stop device for Fender Strat-like trems. Sales hit!

Rockinger Tru Tune Tremolo: The very first tremolo with fine tuners (before the Floyd Rose). Unfortunately the Floyd

Schaller Tremolo: Works. Only poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.

SG-Tremolo with bent leaf spring. Very stiff. Actually useless!

Side To Side: On Gibson SGs: completely useless and problematic!

On Gibson SGs: completely useless and problematic! Here without cover.

Müller & Sohn?

Soviet Trem: Underneath. Good thinking, the Russians! And it works.

Steinberger Trem: Should keep the chord harmonious when pressed. Only works with certain string sets. Many annoyed guitarists!

Steinberger Trem: Should keep the chord harmonious when pressed. Only works with certain string sets. Many annoyed guitarists!

Fender Strat Tremolo: What to say? For me until today no really perfect.

Duesenberg Radiator Tremolo: Is there anything more beautiful? Tremolos almost up to Dive Bombs and always returns to zero. And the string threading without nerve!

TK-Smith Bigsby-style: Nice!

Duesenberg Tremola: Our Trem, which eliminates all the disadvantages of the Bigsby-original! Tremolates almost to Dive Bombs and always returns to zero. And the string threading without nerve!

ender Jazzmaster Tremolo: Useless, because much too hard to play!

Wilkinson Strat Trem: Works great. Modern design.

ROKO?

Paul Reed Smith Tremolo: More elegant than the Fender Original.

Museum

tremolissimo!

Germany (ROKO?): extremely ugly!

Rockinger Tru Tune

Fender Vintage Strat Tremolo.

DG Vibroflow Shorty

Rockinger Vibromaster (Müller & Sohn)

Wandré

Wandré Tremolo: bearing with two pins. Works, although a bit hard.

Welson Trem: Italy. Should have a fixed zero point. Does not work, but goes very hard.

Wigsby: Trevor Wilkinson's attempt. In any case he did not know the German word "wank". Unfortunately this part does not work despite clever, innovative technology. No defined zero position!
