Abstract: A stringed musical instrument having an instrument body and a neck extending in a longitudinal direction outward from the body. Strings attach at their first end to the instrument body and at their second end to the neck. The neck is attached to the body via a holding member extending at least partially through the neck and the instrument body while permitting the neck to be pivotable about a fulcrum on the body. The stringed musical instrument further includes a moveable adjustment member arranged so as to be moveable in a predetermined manner to adjust the angular position of the neck relative to the instrument body wherein the moveable adjustment member includes a finger manipulable portion to move the adjustment member in the predetermined manner. The finger manipulable portion may be located within a recess provided in the instrument body or within a hollow sound chamber within the instrument body.
