Patent ID: 7157633

Claim:
A simulated stringed musical instrument practice device comprising: an elongated neck member defining proximal and distal ends, said neck member having a generally flat shaped upper surface which extends longitudinally from said proximal end to said distal end thereby defining lateral edges thereof which are generally perpendicular to said proximal and said distal ends, said elongated neck member also having a lower surface which extends substantially from said proximal end to said distal end, said lower surface having lateral edges which are attached to the lateral edges of said upper surface, wherein said lower surface is generally arcuate in shape in order to simulate the shape of a conventional stringed instrument; a plurality of longitudinally spaced, transversely extending ridges which are integrally attached to said flat upper surface, said transversely extending ridges are spaced progressively longer distances apart from said proximal end to said distal end, whereby said transversely extending ridges simulates the frets of a conventional stringed instrument; a plurality of longitudinal ridges which extend from said proximal end to said distal end over said flat upper surface, said longitudinal ridges are integrally attached to said flat upper surface, whereby said longitudinal ridges simulates the strings of said conventional stringed instrument; and a footing means which are attached to said flat upper surface for providing a non-slip support surface for the flat upper surface, thereby enabling the use of said simulated stringed musical instrument device as a conventional computer keyboard wrist rest.
