If one of the vortices 7 is to be rotated for adjusting the string tension, the take-off wheel 13 connected to the corresponding flexible shaft 11 is brought into contact with the friction surface of one of the drive rollers 14 in a manner to be described in more detail later on, so that a torque transfer from that of the Drive roller 14 associated with the motor 15 can take place on the vortex 7.

  • the motors 15 themselves both have a torque output in the same direction, but by the arrangement opposite each other is output to the drive rollers 14, however, in each case a torque with opposite sense of rotation. Therefore, the take-off wheels 13 can be moved by engagement with one of the drive rollers 14 in a first direction of rotation or in a direction opposite to the first direction of rotation. In other words, depending on selected drive roller 14, with which a particular take-off wheel 13 is brought into engagement, the associated flexible shaft 11 and thus ultimately the vortex 7 are driven to relax or tension the string in the required direction of rotation.
