Microswitch under guitar string connected to electronic organ - enables player to play either instrument or both together

摘要

In addition to pick-ups under the strings (24), an electric guitar has microswitches (27) inside the neck (18), with buttons (26) which protrude through openings (25) in the finger board (20) between the frets (19). The guitar is mounted on a stand. The pick-ups and microswitches are connected, via a control panel attached to the stand, to a nearby electronic organ. The pick-up outputs are amplified by the organ circuits and reproduced over its loudspeaker. The microswitches control corresp. notes on the organ and the control panel selects stops and registers. Thus a player can play the guitar by itself; the organ by itself, by fingering the guitar without striking the strings; or both together.
