Musical instrument amplifier

An onboard electronic system in operation with an acoustic stringed musical instrument, comprising:

• a bridge having at least one pickup in electromagnetic alignment with one or more strings of the acoustic stringed musical instrument, wherein the at least one pickup senses vibrations of the one or more strings and generates electrical signals corresponding to the vibrations of the one or more strings;
• a tailpiece, comprising a first housing having a first hollow interior receiving space;
• a chinrest, comprising a second housing having a second hollow interior receiving space, the tailpiece and the chinrest each receiving at least a part of an electronic circuitry disposed within the respective first hollow interior and the second hollow interior;
• a battery powered amplification unit coupled to the electronic circuitry and disposed within the second hollow interior of the chinrest;
• an output of the electronic circuitry encoded by an analog to digital encoder and processed by a microcontroller communicatively coupled to a computer device via a network;
• and
• the tailpiece further comprising a first controller coupled to the battery powered amplification unit;
• and
• the chinrest further comprising a second controller coupled to the battery powered amplification unit.
