Abstract
A stringed musical instrument such as a guitar has a bridge and a nut mounted at spaced locations on a stem, serving to define a plane for strings. A dense member having greater density than the stem is secured thereto in order to increase the duration of sounds generated by the strings. The stem is detachably secured to a body which may be soft with flexibility to conform to the contours of human body in either standing or sitting position. The stem may also comprise a hollow shell detachably connected to the stem or dense member.
