ABSTRACT:
The strings of a musical instrument, e.g., a guitar, are individually supported on an instrument body by webs of a hard but elastic polymeric material which are free to vibrate in the longitudinal direction of the strings and carry respective strain gauges whose direction of maximum sensitivity includes an acute angle with that longitudinal direction and with the underlying body surface. The webs may be integral with or bonded onto a more massive bridge or bridge section and have gable-shaped tops carrying the strain gauges.
