ABSTRACT:
Flexible cylindrical magnetic members are detachably attached on one of paired string support units, both of which are mounted on an instrument body to stretch strings therebetween, to face a string-vibration pickup device of an electromagnetic type. A string member is passed through each of the inner holes of the cylindrical magnetic member, and vibrations of the string are picked up by the pickup device through the cylindrical magnetic member to be outputted as electrical signals through the pickup device. Musical sounds are electrically or electronically generated by a sound source responsive to the electrical signals.
