Abstract

324,070. Shevill, H. L. Oct. 15, 1928. Guitars: banjoes; fingerboards; bridges; tailpieces.-The body o of a Spanish guitar to be played with a plectrum is fitted with a tenorbanjo neck and fingerboard r, and four, five, or six strings. The fingerboard may be extended laterally to take five strings; or, where Hawaiian effects are required, the fifth, or fifth and sixth, strings s, u are raised by a modification of the nut t, these two strings being secured to the bridge plate w at x. In the construction having five similar strings, which are tuned an octave below the violin and tenor banjo, the bridge plate w is provided with a pressure-bar acting on the strings. The strings are passed under a bar i<1>, and secured to inclined pins i<2>, on the tail-piece. In the instrument producing Hawaiian effects, the strings may be tuned in ascending fourths.
