    Abstract: A string bouncing bar for striking strings of a stringed musical instrument is comprised of an elongate bar body with a distal end and a proximal end. A striking head is provided at the distal end of the bar body and formed integrally therewith and of the same material as the material of the bar body. The striking head has a longitudinally extending string striking surface with the length from 0.25 to about 1.6 inches and extends along the length of the elongate bar body. A grip is provided at the proximal end of the bar body and includes a bulb portion and a generally flattened web located between and joining the bulb portion in the bar body. The web extends in a plane parallel to the plane of the striking head with the web having a thickness dimension sufficiently small to fit and to be held between adjoining fingers of a players' hand using the bar to strike the strings of the musical instrument.
