Abstract (en)
The invention concerns string instruments which, besides the known parts, are provided with new deviators (8) located respectively between the capo tasto (2) and the string tensioning mechanisms (7) and between the bridge (4) and the seat where the strings (1) are fixed onto the belly, modifying the path of each string(1) so that the sections of free string are aligned and differently inclined. Besides a new tailpiece, a wedge-shaped element (10) is contemplated, suitable for being inserted in the extra space in a hole for the string (1) obtained on the peg. After said peg has been turned by at least 180 DEG , the tensioned string goes into position between the end of the string (1) and said wedge (10), in such a way as to compress and open both the string (1) and the wedge (10), thus making the anchorage absolutely stable and achieving maximum reduction of the extra length of string. <IMAGE>
