ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A stringed musical instrument has a plurality of strings stretched between two fixed points and over a bridge. The strings are of substantially circular cross section and made from an elastomeric material such as silicone rubber;all strings are monolithic. The bridge incorporates one or more piezo-electric or other transducer mounted as a bimorphic element in a simple beam mounting between fixed supports on the bridge and in acoustic contact with the body of the instrument through resilient baffle pads in contact with the face of the piezo-electric element remote from the supports. By using elastomeric strings the length of the fingerboard of the instrument can be signifi- cantly reduced whilst nevertheless providing pitch values within a conventional musical range and a new depth of tone without requiring a large resonance chamber or long strings. - 1 -
