ABSTRACT:
There is provided a bridge structure for a stringed instrument. A member supports a ridge over which the strings of the stringed instrument are strung. For each string, one end is secured at a location on the instrument which is remote from the member, the member supporting, for each string, a guide pulley around which the other end of the string passes. Means are provided for snagging the other end of the string, which means includes sub-means on the member whereby rotational torque is applied to the member. Suspension means are provided to support the member from the instrument body in such a way as to counteract that rotational torque.
