A stringed instrument, such as a violin, is provided wherein the bridge of the instrument rests on a resonator bar, and the resonator bar has a plurality of individually-tuned resonators. A pickup, either electronic or acoustic, is coupled to the resonator bar.

A mixed electronic and acoustic output can also be obtained. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a variable damping feature is provided.
