I have a double neck lap steel guitar with tuning changers on both necks.
The inside neck has A - E and C#
The outside neck has C6- E7 and C7.
The changing is performed via a slotted cog. It is machined so that as you lift
the lever, the string tension is adjusted to fit that tuning. The cog could be
machined for other tunings also.
It works perfectly and was built in the 1950's
Obviously the electric is more stable than a wooden Dobro but the concept works.
There is a patent number 2,603,119. It was called a Stringtone - by Rowe
Industries.
