A stringed instrument endpin includes a post for attachment to a stringed instrument and a recurved leg for supporting the instrument during play. The recurved leg carries the weight of the instrument to a supporting surface, such as a performance hall floor. The endpin may be adjustable about the axis of the post and along the spine of the recurved leg.

Exemplary embodiments of stringed instruments including extended string retaining saddle straps are disclosed. The exemplary embodiments include an extended string retaining saddle strap connected to each of, and between, a string connection to the instrument's strings at a bottom portion of a body portion of the stringed instrument and a saddle strap connector at an upper portion of the body portion of the stringed instrument. In an aspect, the saddle strap connector may be connected to a neck block portion joining a neck portion of the stringed instrument to the body portion, within a hollow interior of the body portion. In an aspect, connecting the extended string retaining saddle strap to each of, and between, the string connection and the saddle strap connector creates a tension that tends to pull the string connection and the saddle strap connector towards each other.

A musical instrument, which is one of musical instruments generating a sound using a sound board, the musical instrument designed to generate resonance of abundant and various sounds by separating a resonance space into several parts by simultaneously using several sound boards to one musical instrument, to enable a magnificent and wide-spectrum performance such as an orchestra as one musical instrument by implementing a high-level sound effect required when playing the musical instrument, such as not only an increase of a volume, but generation of an individual tone, depth of a sound, and a stereoscopic sense of a sound by applying various and new elements to each of several sound boards.

A device for detecting the grip pattern when playing a bowed instrument, having a sensor film arrangeable on the fingerboard for detecting the grip pattern. The sensor film is formed from at least one resistance layer, a conductive layer and a spacer layer arranged in-between, and having an evaluation circuit, by which evaluation circuit the resistance changes of the sensor film caused by the grip pattern are able to be detected. The resistance layer is divided into a number of resistance tracks corresponding to the number of strings of the bowed instrument. The width of each resistance track is formed increasing from one end of the sensor film to the other end of the sensor film, and the upper layer of the sensor film is formed by the conductive layer, and the sensor film has a curvature, corresponding to the arch of the fingerboard.

A device that attaches to stringed instruments, preventing the bow from playing over the fingerboard, is disclosed. The device aids in developing proper bow technique, and only restricts movement of the bow over the fingerboard without restricting movement elsewhere between the fingerboard and the bridge.
