ABSTRACT:
A justifying device for a stringed musical instrument comprises a housing having a plurality of keys mounted in the upper part thereof for vertical movement between an initial position and a depressed position, the keys being arranged in the housing in transverse and longitudinal symmetry for simplifying play with each transverse row of keys corresponding to a given fret; a plurality of tongues mounted for vertical movement in the lower part of the housing and arranged in longitudinal asymmetry for alignment with the frets, there being one tongue for each key; means for connecting each key to its corresponding tongue for vertical movement therewith; means for biasing the keys to their initial positions; and presetting means movably mounted on the housing for selectively depressing a transverse row of keys.
