Abstract
A stringed musical instrument is similar in many respects to a guitar but it has no neck and therefore is shorter in overall length and lighter in weight. An inclined sound-transmitting plate is secured at spaced locations to a longitudinal strut. The plate is inclined in a plane parallel to the plane of the strings and it extends laterally to overlie a major portion of the upper wall of an acoustic sound-box. The plate and sound-box extend from the string anchors at one end of the strut to the tuning head at the other end.
