String instrument with bridge pivoted on axis parallel to strings - has holder for short string ends having common extended line intersection with pivot axis

摘要

The string instrument, such as a violin, is of the type as described in 2532341. It has a string bridge (4) which is rotatable about an axis (5-5) approximately parallel to the strings and symmetrically arranged relative to them. The short parts of the strings are retained by a bracket (2) fixed to the body (1) of the instrument. These string parts between the bridge and bracket are so arranged that their produced extensions have a common point of intersection on the produced part of the bridge pivot axis.
