Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0054250A1] A musical instrument is described, with strings (7) and an exciter (29) attached to the sounding box (3) of a musical instrument such as a guitar. Additional sounds may be played through the exciter (29) to excite the sounding box (3) to produce an acoustic output. A transducer (21) may pick up the sound and feed it through a processor (23) to enable the musical instruments to produce effects such as reverberation. The musical instrument may allow the sound emitted by the instrument itself to be changed electronically.
