Slider for stringed instrument

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a slider for a stringed instrument to ensure that improved sound quality and smooth slide operation are realizable when sliding in slide playing on the stringed instrument. This slider for the stringed instrument is provided with a portion to be held that is held by a finger, and a pressing portion that is supported on the portion to be held side and made to move in press contact with strings of the stringed instrument toward a string direction, the pressing portion being supported rotatably and configured to have an annular outer peripheral surface around a rotation axis of the pressing portion. The outer peripheral surface forms a press contact surface that is made in press contact with the strings, and the portion to be held is held by the finger pressing down the strings, with a neck of the stringed instrument grasped.
