ABSTRACT:
The invention is an ergonomically constructed string instrument which is achieved by rotating both the nut and the bridge about a longitudinal axis in the direction from which the player's hand approaches, to the degree which is predetermined to accommodate a particular player. The invention addresses the high incidence of overuse or repetitive strain injuries suffered by players due to extreme wrist flexion.
