I'd recommend Tremol-No or adding another spring to your setup.

If your bridge is floating then there really isn't a way to remedy that. The floyd has to be resting on the body or have its ability to be pulled up inhibited for the d-tuna to work.

This. D-Tuna and a purely floating bridge cannot coexist because of the exact problem being mentioned. Even the Peavey EVH Wolfgang has the FR hard-stopped (you can't pull up on the bridge, only push down). Another spring might lessen the effect but probably not remove it. Remember that the springs are counterbalanced against the string tension - any change in string tension will change that balance. With the hardstop, there is no balancing act - one direction is (for all intensive purposes) impossible to move.

This, except for the part at the end. The correct term is 'for all intents and purposes'.

It must have a little bit of travel if it's going out of tune with the D-Tuna.

 

Have you tried tightening the spring claw a little to make sure the back of the trem is really resting on the body?

Damned Grammar Coppes! :poke:

 

Note: Yes, it seems that you are correct that my phrase is a corruption of that original.

I agree that this must be checked. If there is no more adjustment in the spring claw then you need to add a spring and make the adjustments to the spring claw maintaining the strings in tune for both settings of the D-Tuna (but esp. in the normal position which has the more string tension).
