ABSTRACT:
Musician controlled relative motion between a generally standard stringed musical instrument (such as a Spanish guitar) and a false body hinged to the generally standard stringed instrument permits versatile control by the musician of the tension in one or more strings to produce both vibrato sounds and/or sustained pitch changes (both higher and lower pitches). The invention eliminates limitations of prior art which employed relative motion between neck and body of an otherwise generally standard stringed musical instrument.
