ABSTRACT:
A stringed musical instrument of a resonator guitar type, including an elongated, substantially horizontal, hollow body supporting pegs, a fret board, and a resonator in which each of the string members includes an elongated string, an elongated rigid string bar and a string cable, connected end-to-end. The strings extend over and lightly engage a transverse bridge, while the rigid string bars bear against a transverse support rod adjacent the bridge. The cables are connected to tuning lever members independently pivotally mounted upon a transverse tuning shaft at the tail end of the body. Operative members, such as pedals and/or knee levers are connected by linkages to the tuning lever members for controlling the tension in the strings.
