ABSTRACT:
A string mounting and tuning device is disclosed for use in the body of a stringed instrument, the device having a cast zinc alloy saddle platform and integral attachment block. The saddle platform is formed with a saddle support plate with a flange at the distal end thereof, the flange being provided at a plurality of apertures holding longitudinal adjustment screws so that each longitudinal adjustment screw extends through an aperture and threadably engages a string saddle cast of the same material as the saddle platform allows the position of each saddle to be adjusted by turning the respective longitudinal adjustment screw. The saddles which are also cast of the same zinc alloy material as the saddle platform and integral attachment block are spaced from each other a predetermined distance so that they do not touch providing purer sound quality.
