ABSTRACT:
An improved nut design for positioning near the fingerboard of a stringed instrument or at the opposing anchor ends of the strings of the instrument comprising a nut body having a raised string support column for each respective string and a fluted or open space between each column for enhancement of sound transfer into the resonating body of the instrument. The modification of the nut body to form a crown with alternating support columns and open spaces has been found to substantially improve sound transfer and tone production. The nut configuration has been adapted for the nut body positioned at the upper end of the fingerboard, and also for the saddle and tail piece for stringed instruments of the violin family.
