ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a string post for a musical instrument. In some prior art instrument, buttons or other attachments are connected to the instrument head and the strings engage such attach- ments between the nut and the string posts so that the strings are held close to the instrument head. While this increases the pressure between the strings and the nut, there is not always sufficient room to use such attachments and they add an additional expense to the instrument. Accord- ing to the present invention, these problems are solved by providing a novel string post for musical instruments. Briefly, the present string post has a constantly decreasing diameter from the outer end thereof to a first plane virtually at the instrument head and has an increasing diameter from the first plane to a second plane at the instrument head so as to form a curved shoulder at the base of the post between the first and second planes. This construction urges a string wrapped around such a string post toward the instrument head until the last wrap seats against the shoulder at the base of the post, virtually in contact with the instrument head.
