    摘要: A connector device for electronic musical instruments. The connector device comprising input electrical connector means that receives electrical signals generated by pickup means for an instrument. The instrument being played and a vibration transducer mechanically attached to the input electrical connector means or provided as an integral part of the input electrical connector means, such that vibrations from the instrument are transferred to the vibration transducer. The vibration transducer generates an electrical output signal based on the vibrations. The connector device comprises electrical output connector means that receives the electrical signals generated by the pickup means and the electrical output signal from the vibration transducer and provides these signals to equipment. The connector device further comprises a mixer that combines the signals vg(t) from the pickup means and the signal vvib(t) from the vibration transducer. The mixer provides output signal vo(t) that is a weighted combination of the input signals.

    摘要: The invention provides a stringed musical instrument comprising a guitar-type hollow body, a neck joined to the hollow body, and a banjo-type pot comprising a rim, a head and a tension hoop, positioned within a first interior chamber within the hollow body. The rim and head define a second interior chamber within the banjo-type pot. The banjo-type pot is affixed to a back surface of the hollow body such that the head of the banjo-type pot is proximal to a front surface of the hollow body and distal to the back surface of the hollow body. The banjo-type pot is positioned within the first interior chamber to form a path for sound waves generated by the head to travel from a second interior chamber within the banjo-type pot through the first interior chamber and out of at least one opening provided on the front surface of the hollow body.
