摘要： This invention is an apparatus for straightening a guitar bridge or guitar bridge assembly comprising a U-shaped receptacle with a bottom, a first face and a second face; an adjustable drive on the first face that places force on the bridge; and at least two opposing braces on the second face, and wherein the second face is grooved to create a space between the receptacle and the bridge, and wherein the first and second face contain a sight line and the apparatus contains an adjustable drive which is capable of being turned by a hex wrench so that the force of the adjustable drive on one side and the two opposing braces change the shape of the bridge to a desired shape. The invention is also related to a method for straightening a guitar bridge.

摘要： A pitch changer system for a string musical instrument, including a lever assembly, a rotating saddle assembly, a swing plate, and a lever tensioning assembly. Applying force to move the lever in a first direction forces a bell crank matingly coupled to the lever into rotation such that a coupling system of the lever tensioning assembly causes the swing plate to force a rotating saddle of the rotating saddle assembly into rotation to elongate and thereby temporarily change the pitch of a string coupled to the rotating saddle.

摘要： A string mount system and method of installing guitar strings in an acoustic guitar. The string mount system includes a tonebar having a rod including a length extending from a first terminating end to a second terminating end. The tonebar includes a constant diameter extending along the length of the rod and the constant diameter is less than an inner diameter ball end of each string in a set guitar strings. The rod is located in a hole in each of the ball ends. The tonebar, with the mounted strings, is pulled against a bridge plate of the guitar. The strings are tuned to pitch. The strings are acoustically coupled to the bridge plate and to the sound board to vibrate the soundboard to produce acoustically amplified string tones.

摘要： A stringed instrument tailpiece includes an elongate body. Openings, which may be slots or through-holes, are formed at a bridge-end of the elongate body to engage a musical instrument's one or more strings. An opening at the gut-end of the elongate body is configured to engage a gut, which attaches to an instrument endpin.

摘要： The retainer for securing a musical instrument string to a body of a musical instrument includes a first casing portion defining a first opening and a ball-end chamber therein. The first opening is located at a proximal end of the retainer and a second casing portion is located at a distal end of the first casing portion. The second casing portion defines a passageway from the ball-end chamber to a second opening located at a distal end of the retainer. The passageway length is greater than the ball-end chamber length, and the ball-end chamber width is greater the passageway width.
