Abstract
A simple method of attaching an audio transducer to a sounding board of a string musical instrument without altering or disturbing the function of the component parts of the instrument, so the instrument can be electrically activated to produce sound without being played by a musician or together with a musician playing the instrument.
Claims1
A device for the transmission of vibrations generated by an audio transducer to the sounding board of a string musical instrument, where said transducer has a vibration transmission means extending from it to engage with said sounding board of said musical instrument whereby said vibration transmission means also has an attached lateral member that locates beneath the strings of said musical instrument with said lateral member being urged upward against said strings causing said device to be held firmly in place and urging said vibration transmission means against said sounding board, thereby causing efficient vibration transmission from said audio transducer to said musical instrument's sounding board.
