ABSTRACT:
A stringed musical instrument of the solid body or equivalent type is provided with elongated resonant beams which support the bridge for the instrument strings. The resonance of the beams is lowered by the use of concentrated mass portions in or on the beams so that the resonance of the beams will be lowered and with electrical vibration-pickup means a sound more closely resembling that of a hollow bodied instrument will be achieved. The pickups may be crystal, magneto dynamic or other suitable type which are used to produce an electrical signal representative of string induced beam vibration.
