  • Musical stringed instrument capable of being played with one hand
    Patent number: 5380948
    Abstract: A musical stringed instrument including a control circuit that provides a means for playing with one hand. The control circuit is either integral with or external to the musical stringed instrument. One hand operation is accomplished by selectively bringing one or more of the strings into electrical contact with any one or more electrical contacts or frets or by depressing any one or more switches corresponding to each string. A striker pad impacts the chosen string causing it to vibrate. Variation in the notes is accomplished in a manner consistent with two handed operation of the musical stringed instrument.
