ABSTRACT:
A multiple string guitar-like instrument has a plurality of plucking means mounted to confront playing strings. Each plucking means comprises a housing having a carriage guide, a carriage disposed for movement transverse to the string, a finger pivotally mounted to the carriage, a cam pivotally mounted to the housing, and a follower pin extending laterally from the finger for tracking the contour of the cam to direct the finger to move in an eccentric path. The plucking mechanism is disposed at a distance from the string so that the head of the moving finger plucks the string at an oblique angle during only a driven portion of a keying stroke.
