A toy guitar includes a guitar body defining an interior space. The toy guitar may further include a track extending within the interior space from an opening of the guitar body. The toy guitar may further include a guitar neck arranged partially in the opening. The neck is manipulateable between an extended position in which the guitar neck extends from the guitar body and a retracted position in which the guitar neck is at least partially retracted into the interior space along the track. In some cases, the guitar neck may include a retention structure configured to retain the guitar neck in the extended position. The toy guitar may also include an input assembly integrated with the guitar neck configured to cause the toy guitar to emit a light or a sound upon receipt of an input when the guitar neck is in the extended position.

An adjustable length strap assembly adapted for use with a stringed musical instrument such as a guitar is disclosed. The strap assembly comprises: a first portion defined in part by a length of a strapping material having a terminal end configured to be secured to an anchoring point located on a head portion of a body of the stringed musical instrument, said length of strapping material threaded through a first leveraging portion of a substantially ring-shaped leveraging member and folded, such that a section of the length of the strapping material is folded over itself, to form a two ply configuration of strapping material consisting of a first top ply and a second bottom ply, with slid-able longitudinal movement of each ply relative to the other leveraged by said first leveraging portion of the substantially ring-shaped leveraging member; and a second portion defined by a tongue capable of swivelling about a second leveraging portion of the substantially ring shaped leveraging member; wherein the slid-able longitudinal movement of the second bottom ply relative to the first top ply is regulated by movement of a slider of a longitudinally oriented slide-fastening mechanism formed integrally to the first top ply.

An instrument holder includes an elongated crossbar including a back surface and a front surface and extending between a first end and a second end, the first end having a perpendicular portion, and the second end including an angled portion and an offset portion, a slot bar coupleable to the first end of the elongated crossbar at the perpendicular portion, and a cradle coupleable to the second end of the elongated crossbar at the offset portion, the cradle being configured and arranged to couple to the back surface of the offset portion.

A musical instrument stand includes a base, a first cradle arm assembly rotatingly connected to the base, and a second cradle arm assembly rotatingly connected to the base. Each of the first cradle arm assembly and the second cradle arm assembly is configured to rotate with respect to the base when the musical instrument stand is in an unfolded position.

The present invention relates to a string instrument (1; 100) comprising a resonator (2), a handle (3) and a tailpiece (4; 40), wherein the handle (3) and the tailpiece (4; 40) are bound to the resonator (2) for combining at least one string to the instrument, further comprising at least one couple of magnets essentially opposed each other, a first magnet (11; 110) of the at least one couple of magnets bound to the resonator (2) and a second magnet (12; 120) of the at least one couple of magnets arranged at a first distance from the first magnet, so that to apply, between the first magnet (11; 110) and the second magnet (12; 120), a repulsive force or an attractive force, respectively, depending on the opposed polarities, equal or opposite, of the first magnet and the second magnet, wherein the attractive force or the repulsive force is active on the resonator (2).
