Abstract
A connector for a string instrument and a harness having a fixing member fixed to the body of the string instrument and an engaging member fastened to an end of the harness which can be removably connected to the fixing member. The engaging member is provided with an engaging chamber and the fixing member is provided with a protrusion which can be fitted into the engaging chamber. The engaging member is provided with at least two engaging pieces which are always energized by a resetting spring to engage with the protrusion of the engaging member which stays inside the engaging chamber and a manually-operated knob for disengaging the engaging pieces from the protrusion as required. The manually-operated knob is adapted to retract the engaging pieces against the resetting spring by manually rotating the knob in the circumferential direction.
