Claim 13:
14. A pitch changer system for a stringed musical instrument having a body, a neck, and a saddle mounting plate attached to the body, the pitch changer system comprising:
a lever assembly configured to be mounted to said body of said stringed musical instrument, said lever assembly including a lever rotatably coupled to a mounting plate;
a reversable saddle assembly configured to be mounted to a saddle mounting plate, said reversable saddle assembly including:
a saddle block including a static saddle and a hinge block, said saddle block being at least one of height adjustable and longitudinally adjustable relative to said saddle mounting plate, wherein said static saddle is dimensioned to have a first string of said instrument extending thereover during use; and
a rotating saddle configured to be hingedly coupled to said hinge block, said rotating saddle including a string aperture dimensioned to receive a second string of said instrument, wherein said rotating saddle may be selectively reversed relative to said hinge block such that said saddle block may be reversed to thereby use said static saddle for said second string of said instrument and said rotating saddle for said first string of said instrument; and

a lever tensioning system configured to be mounted to said body of said stringed musical instrument, wherein applying force to move said lever in a first direction forces said rotating saddle into rotation to elongate and thereby temporarily change the pitch of a string coupled to the rotating saddle.
