Abstract

The string securing apparatus for string instrument of this invention arranges a plurality of saddle-attaching members on the top face of a bridge base in correspondence with strings, and secures them to the bridge base so that they can be movably adjusted in the front-rear direction. A bridge saddle is attached to each saddle-attaching member so as to rotate up and down. The string is inserted through a pipe section in the bridge saddles and led above the bridge saddles by a lever attachment hole; the string is curved forward to a string supporting section. A cam lever is inserted in the lever attachment hole of the bridge saddles so as to freely rotate, and a spring presses the cam lever forward. A cam section of the cam lever pushes the string and secures it by tightening it to the string supporting section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a string fixing device for a stringed instrument, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a string fixing device for a stringed instrument of a vibrato device for an electric guitar. Background technique [0002] Electric guitars are capable of producing a special sound effect called a tremolo effect, in which musical intervals are slightly increased or decreased by using a tremolo device to repeatedly and rapidly change string tension (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Application , First Publication No. Hei2-119300, and Japanese Examined Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-44864, and Sho 63-33242). [0003] The tremolo device includes: a bridge base, which is pivotally connected to the guitar body; and a plurality of bridge saddles, which are arranged on the bridge base corresponding to the strings. One end of each string is fixed to each saddle, and the other end is wound on a peg ...
