Towards amalgamating the synchronous and asynchronous styles

A stringed musical instrument particularly a ukelele employing simple rotatable friction pegs in the machine head, is provided with a tension-receiving member for the strings disposed between the instrument nut and the machine head. Each string is looped in a circle about the member and it is found there is a marked reduction in the tendency for the instrument to detune under the string tension. The member may be constituted by a screw or a rod mounted by the instrument neck and about which the respective string is looped. With a wooden-necked instrument each member may be constituted by a wood screw screwed directly into the neck.

弦乐器，特别是用简单的旋转摩擦钉在机器头上的弦乐器，并在仪表螺母和机器头之间处置的串有一个张力的会员。每个字符串都在成员的圆圈中循环，发现该仪器在弦张力下探测仪器的趋势有明显的减少。该成员可以由仪器颈部安装的螺钉或杆构成，并在其周围环绕其上环。使用木制仪器，每个成员都可以由直接拧入脖子的木螺钉构成。
