ABSTRACT:
There is provided a novel stringed musical instrument for direct attachment to an electronic transducer. An elongated member is mounted on a frame on which is also mounted an upright bridge having string gripping means for positioning, gripping and passing the vibrations of a plurality of strings connected on one side of the bridge to the elongated member and on the other side of the bridge to string holding means for holding and tensioning the strings. An electronic transducer is mounted at the bridge means, which passes vibrations received from the plucked strings to the transducer, from which the sounds are amplified and sent to speakers. In addition, hand grips on the frame are disposed proximate to the bridge means, which configures the gripping means so as to position the strings within finger reach of the hand grips.
