ABSTRACT:
A device is described for musical instruments, and particularly stringed musical instruments such as a guitar, which can controllably and selectively sustain the musical sounds produced by the instrument. The device includes an electrical pick-up proximate to the strings of the guitar for generating electrical signals which correspond to the vibrations of the strings. The signals are amplified by the device and are converted in a loud speaker or other transducer mounted on the instrument and proximate to the strings into mechanical vibrations which sympathetically reinforce the initial vibrations and maintain the strings in a vibratory state and thereby sustain the sound.
