ABSTRACT:
A tuning apparatus for a stringed musical instrument includes a bridge base, a plurality of bridges, a plurality of anchor members of the same number as that of the bridges, and tuning bolts of the same number as that of the bridges or anchor members. The bridge base is fixed on a body. Each bridge is mounted on an upper surface of a front end portion of the bridge base and is movable along vertical and back-and-forth directions with respect to the body. Each bridge supports one end portion of a string at a top surface thereof. Each anchor member is mounted on an upper surface of a rear end portion of the bridge base and is movable along the back-and-forth direction. Each anchor member locks a bead coupled to one end of the string. Each tuning bolt is rotated to move the corresponding anchor member along the back-and-forth direction. The upper surface of the rear end portion of the bridge base is provided with a guide for guiding the corresponding anchor member, and the guide is inclined at the same angle as a holding angle at one end portion of the string.
