The letter a represents two standards or uprights which support aframe I), provided with the top rail 1) and the bottom rail Preferably to both sides of the top rail 1), there are secured by screws 0, or otherwise, the sounding drums 0. These drums have perforated bottoms for the attachment of the upper knotted ends of the strings cl: The strings d, are stretched across the frame I), and pass downwardly through agraffes e, and thence to tuning pins f, both of which are secured to the lower rail 6 The two strings of every pair of sounding drums c, placed on opposite sides of rail I), approach from-top to bottom (Fig. 2) and are secured to a common agra'ffe. The perforations e, of the agraffes are inclined in such a manner (Fig. that they will convey the strings to the same side of rail b and toward their respective tuning pins.
