Disclosed herein are various embodiments of devices and systems which may be reversibly coupled to a sound hole of a hollow-bodied stringed instrument for the generation of percussive musical sounds. Various embodiments herein disclosed comprise various means of reversibly coupling a percussive attachment with a musical instrument, and comprise adjustable device body lengths and angular orientations relative to the hollow body of musical instruments so as to allow percussive sound-generating elements to produce musical sounds from within a resonating chamber of the hollow-bodied instrument through interaction with an inner surface thereof.

A musical instrument support apparatus for displaying a guitar in a plurality of viewing positions may include a securement frame configured to be rotatably mounted to a vertical surface and including a plurality of bars connected together; a pair of side arms pivotably mounted to the securement frame, each arm in the pair of side arms configured to pivotably adjust to contact the body of the guitar; and a wall mount bracket attached to the securement frame and configured to be attached to the vertical surface. The support apparatus may be designed to secure the guitar with the body disposed on the support plate and the pair of sides of the body secured within the pair of arms, wherein the securement frame is rotatably adjusted relative to the support base to display the secured guitar in one of the plurality of viewing positions.
