  • Patent number: 5831189
    Abstract: A device for facilitating the playing of stringed instruments comprises a stand (6) with two lateral pieces (7, 7') between which is arranged a pressure plate (5) with a length which is larger than the distance between at least three crossbars (3) on a neck of the instrument, and a width that is larger than the distance between maximally separated strings (2). On its underside, the pressure plate has protruding abutment elements (12), the plate being on one hand reciprocally displaceable relative to the stand, and on the other hand being capable of being pressed down against the force of springs (10) in the direction of the neck (1) in order to activate a combination of transmission device (5) included in the stand by a desired, corresponding combination of abutment elements, the transmission device having the purpose of stretching strings against the crossbars (3), so that the strings deliver a desired chord.
