ABSTRACT:
A bearing of a roller string guide for a musical instrument, such as a roller bridge saddle, is urged into a seating by elastic member whose spring force preferably is greater than the lateral force exerted on the roller by the vibration of the string. The seating of the bearing is formed in a rigid structure of the bridge saddle. With this arrangement since the bearing is urged into a rigid seating the vibrational energy of the string cannot vibrate the roller laterally relative to the bridge saddle and therefore no vibrational energy of the string is lost in the connection between the roller and the saddle structure. With a bridge having a bearing saddle according to the invention string sustain is greatly enhanced.
