ABSTRACT:
A string instrument with improved acoustic properties includes taut strings fixed at both ends of the instrument. An element is arranged on at least one end of at least one string, between a fixing device of a first material and the string, said element of a second material having a conductive and absorbent capacity for sound waves in the audible frequency range created by striking the strings, which is lower than the conductive or absorbent capacity of the first material in said frequency range, in such a way that the string is protected against any contact with the fixing device. The invention also relates to a fixing plate for guitars, including electronic guitars or electronic bases, having a sleeve disposed in a string hole of the fixing plate at a terminating end of a string.
