ABSTRACT:
A stringed musical instrument has separate members commonly mounted at the head of the instrument for providing individual support and adjustment for each of the strings. Each fastening and tuning member comprises an elongated support piece carrying a clamping member that engages and clamps the string with the clamping action increasing as the string is tensioned. The tension is adjusted for tuning purposes by longitudinally displacing the elongated support piece. In the preferred embodiment, the clamping member is a slidable button operating on a forced wedge principle.
