ABSTRACT:
A harmonic bridge for use with guitars and other string instruments having fretted fingerboards includes a frame above the strings and transverse to the fingerboard in a position directly over a fret. A string contacting member is mounted in the frame above a string. Height adjustment, of the frame supports or/and of the string contacting member with respect to the frame, is provided so that the lower surface of the string contacting member can be caused to depress the string by an amount just sufficient to stop string vibration at the contact point when the string is plucked, but not far enough to cause the string to touch the fret or fingerboard.
