ABSTRACT:
A stringed musical instrument, of the type in which the strings extend over a bridge which rests on the table of the instrument and are secured to a tailpiece, is provided with a tone improving device for maximising the tone production whatever strings are fitted to the instrument. The device is clamped to the table of the instrument and incorporates a nut to which the tailgut is attached. The nut is mounted on a threaded cylindrical member so as to be movable upwardly or downwardly on rotation of the member to modify the angle between the table and the part of the strings extending from the bridge to the tailpiece thereby to control the force exerted by the bridge on the table due to the tension in the strings without substantially varying the tension in the strings.
