ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument such as a guitar or piano has a plurality of elongated strings maintained under longitudinal tension and bearing through a bridge on a sounding element. This sounding element is subdivided by a plurality of slots into a plurality of sections each bearing against a respective one or more strings and each carrying on its outer faces at least one strain gauge. The strain gauge is extends between the respective string and the sounding element, with its direction of sensitivity perpendicular to both. Such a strain gauge is therefore used as an electronic tone pickup for the string instrument.
