ABSTRACT:
A hand held device for use in varying the pitch of at least one string of a flat bodied stringed musical instrument. The device comprises an elongated body beveled at opposite ends so as to provide first and second mutually convergent surfaces. The length of the body is such that when the body is held in the user's hand, one beveled end engages the palm, while simultaneously the other end may be engaged by the ball of the index finger. The device also includes a loop member attached to the body and formed so as to extend between the index and middle fingers of the hand and around the top of the index finger in a loose manner so that the body can be securely held in the hand and so that the index finger can be arched to vary the pressure exerted on the body.
