ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument having plucked strings includes a sound board resting freely on the body of the instrument and which is put into vibration in a plane normal to its surface by a bridge of asymmetrical structure that supports the strings of the instruments and that rests on said sound board. The sound board is clamped at a projecting one of its ends between the body and the tailpiece of the instrument, and at its other end it rests on supports secured to the body. The bridge is supported at its treble string end directly by means of a fixed finger secured to the rigid body, and at its bass string end by the freely mounted sound board to which pressure and vibration are transmitted by a thrust piece which defines an asymmetrical configuration relative to the fixed finger.
