A plastic ukulele has a sound board, a fretboard, a head plate and a lower half of the body integrated into a complete ukulele body. Attached to the bottom surface of the sound board are two paralleled outline reinforcing ribs which are in parallel with the outline of soundboard on the inside. The sound board has a sound hole in the upper middle part. Around the sound hole are two sets of lengthwise and widthwise paralleled reinforcing ribs. The part of sound board which is surrounded by the lower widthwise reinforcing ribs and the lower bout of outline reinforcing ribs is resonance section with a thickness of 1.0-1.4 mm only. Attached to the bottom surface of resonance section is a grid bracing structure in a one-piece molding with the sound board.

The present invention provides a chordophone including a body configured to have a top plate, a bottom plate, and a side plate connected to the top plate and the bottom plate, which comprises: a cut-out plate formed by cutting the bottom plate, and configured to have a grille formed on a portion penetrated of the cut-out plate; a bracket formed in a shape corresponding to the cut-out plate and configured to have a base plate coupled to an inner side of the cut-out plate; and a speaker unit configured to have a speaker installed in the bracket, a control unit for controlling an output of the speaker, and a communication module for allowing a sound source output from the speaker to be received from an external user terminal, in which the grille is formed in a size and shape corresponding to a diameter of a side on which a sound of the speaker is output, and a through-hole is formed penetrated on the base plate at a corresponding position to the grille and with a corresponding shape to a shape of the sound output side of the speaker.

The present invention relates to a musical instrument for producing a harmonious scale of musical notes. The instrument includes nine separate sound actuators each of which is configured to cause the musical instrument to generate a different frequency selected from the group of frequencies comprising 174 Hz, 285 Hz, 396 Hz, 417 Hz, 528 Hz, 639 Hz, 741 Hz, 852 Hz and 963 Hz, the musical instrument being configured such that physically manipulating the sound actuators causes the musical instrument to generate the frequency corresponding to the sound actuator manipulated. The invention is also directed at a system for—writing music to be played with a musical instrument incorporating the harmonious scale of musical notes as described above. The notation system includes a staff of five parallel and horizontal lines separated by four spaces, the first line indicating a first note of 174 Hz, the space immediately above the first line indicating a second note of 285 Hz, the second line indicating a third note of 396 Hz, the space immediately above the second line indicating a fourth note of 417 Hz, the third line indicating a fifth note of 528 Hz, the space immediately above the third line indicating a sixth note of 639 Hz, the fourth line indicating a seventh note of 741 Hz, the space immediately above the fourth line indicating an eighth of 852 Hz and the fifth line, indicating a ninth note of 963 Hz.

A stringed musical instrument is disclosed herein. The stringed instrument comprises a body, a head, a neck, and one or more strings. The neck has a back plate and a cover integrated with the back plate. The back plate comprises a first array of openings and the cover comprises a second array of openings. The first array and second array of openings align to form an array of light housings. Each light housing is configured to house a light (e.g., LEDs). Also disclosed herein is an interactive stringed musical instrument teaching system comprising a stringed instrument and a mobile terminal (e.g., computer). Both the smart stringed instrument and the mobile terminal are in communication via one or more communication modules. The mobile terminal comprises a microphone, a tuning module, a database, a teaching module and a game module. The stringed instrument comprises a main control module, a sound wake-up module, an LED driver module and an LED matrix module.

The Custom Fitting Stringed Instrument Pick provides a fast, comfortable and effective way to mimic the natural fingernails so many musicians cannot maintain in order to pluck the strings of a musical instrument.

A stringed musical instrument comprises a bridge that receives a plurality of strings. The bridge comprises at least one internal pocket. In some embodiments, the bridge comprises a plurality of internal pockets.

A musical instrument, method of making and using the same, where the musical instrument can play one or more notes within a range of more than one octave on a single string without a fret or fretboard.

An electromagnetic multi-function multi-purpose chordo-phone musical instrument upon which any form or style of music may be played in any position by a performer standing or seated, in a fixed location or moving throughout a performance venue. The player may initiating the vibrations of each string, any combination of strings, or all of the strings with a plectrum or the fingers of one or both hands, singly or in any combination and such vibrations will continue until their eventual natural termination unless damped and/or muted by the player using the fingers or the palm of one or both hands singly or in any combination. The shape and style of the rigid frame of the instrument is not limited by the need for frets, a fretboard, or keys.
