ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention concerns a string instrument of guitar type which is constructed to allow both individual notes and chords to be played thereon. The instrument is tuned in such a manner that the pitch difference of the open string notes obtained by adjacent strings alternately is three and four semitones. Each frst on the instrument represents one whole tone. The tuning of the instrument thus is adapted to the traditional occidential harmony of music. The instrument is designed in two different embodi- ments, viz. as an acoustic instrument and as an electric instrument. As a beginner's instrument in both the acoustic and electric variety it comprises preferably 4 to 6 strings. In other embodiments the string instrument is designed to comprise any number of strings between 6 and 13. The increased number of strings increases the range of note and tone variety of the instrument. The string instrument may be played using available guitar literature as well as existing piano literature. Fig. 7.
