摘要： An ergonomic stringed instrument is described, presenting a novel ergonomic design incorporating one or more of an angled waist, provided as part of the waist portion of the stringed instrument bowl or body, and a contoured ridge, provided along at least a portion of the back of the stringed instrument bowl or body. The angled waist is provided on the treble side of the stringed instrument, which side may rest on the leg of a performer, and is configured with an angled contour towards the back of the stringed instrument. The contoured ridge runs along at least a portion of the bass side of the stringed instrument back and defines at least a slightly concave portion on the treble side of the contoured ridge.

摘要： A stringed instrument, such as a guitar, has a finger-board, a headstock located at one end of the finger-board, and a plurality of machine-heads mounted on the finger-board for adjusting the tension of the strings. Each machine-head has a rotatable winding peg for winding a respective string to be adjusted, and a rotatable adjusting handle coupled to the winding peg for rotating the peg. The axis of rotation of the adjusting handle is inclined rearwardly relative to the plane of the finger-board and is non-parallel to the axis of rotation of the winding peg. In addition, the axis of rotation of the adjusting handle is inclined at an acute angle relative to a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the instrument and generally toward the opposite end of the instrument, in order to facilitate the ability of a person playing the instrument to locate and adjust each machine-head.

摘要： A control circuit for use with a guitar or other musical instrument having an electromechanical pickup for converting natural vibrations of the instrument into electrical signals amplified or otherwise conditioned by a sound system to produce a derivative sound, controls a given parameter, such as the loudness or intensity, of the derivative sound and includes one or more pads of electrically conductive material fixed to the instrument and defining one or more discrete areas on the outer surface of the instrument which are sensitive to such discrete areas being touched by or brought into close proximity to a finger, hand or other body part of the performer, thereby allowing the performer to easily and quickly make changes in the given parameter of the derivative sound.
