ABSTRACT:
A compact adjustable bridge and string-anchoring structure for stringed musical instruments in the form of a bar whose top surface carries in juxtaposition bridge sections, one for each string, which are mounted for movement in a direction longitudinally of the strings and are equipped with means operable to vary their positions individually. Arranged in the front edge area of the bar are open anchoring recesses provided with small funnel-shaped apertures in their rear walls for the strings to pass through and emerge at the rear edge area of the bar while the beaded ends of the strings are retained and sheltered in the recesses. This rear edge area is smoothly rounded for the strings to be folded upwardly over said area into engagement with the individual bridge sections on the top surface of the bar. The opposite ends of the bar are provided with hook-like extensions for attachment of the ends of the bar to the body of the instrument in a manner permitting individual adjustment of the bar ends in a direction longitudinally of the strings and also relative to the top surface of the instrument body.
