Popular Science’s ‘Garage Invention’ Awards 2010: EverTune
‘Garage inventors’ is a term used to describe individuals or groups of inventors that create independently. They are not on a salary or salary/incentive basis, paid by their companies to invent; they work alone, on their own or in small groups, generally in someone’s garage or other part of the home.
Popular Science recognizes the accomplishments of these independent inventors yearly in the June issue of its magazine. Today, we take a look at EverTune.
Guitar players and their audiences are in for a shock. Cosmos Lyles and Paul Dowd have invented a guitar tuner you only tune once.
Right.
Not in the middle of a song, not between songs, not between sets. Just once.
EverTune, the pair’s invention, is a bridge that keeps your strings in place by the action of six springs and levers that keep the strings’ tension, even if your tuning pegs loosen or tighten accidentally.
Lyles and Dowd are in talks with guitar makers to embed EverTune in new guitars, but EverTunes will be made separately to fit many older guitars.
Here’s a video that explains the EverTune system.
