Abstract:
A saddle assembly for a stringed musical instrument comprising a saddle footing having a body of any desired geometry and a surface curvature compatible with and conforming to the surface curvature of the soundboard of the stringed musical instrument upon which the body of the saddle footing is mounted with or without the use of a bridge plate, with the saddle footing adapted to accommodate either a conventional bridge or conventional saddle for elevating the strings in the stringed musical instrument relative to the soundboard or upon which a modified bridge or modified saddle is mounted having a geometry which conforms in geometry and curvature to the geometry and curvature of the elongated slot in the saddle footing.

Claim (Index 13):
A saddle assembly for a stringed musical instrument as defined in  claim 12  wherein the saddle footing includes an elongated slot and wherein the modified bridge or modified saddle includes a lower section extending from the body of the modified bridge or modified saddle at an end thereof opposite the upper section with the width of the body of the modified bridge or modified saddle being substantially larger than the width of the lower section such that the body of the modified bridge or modified saddle in combination with the lower section forms, in cross section, a configuration substantially conforming in shape to the shape of the letter \u201cT\u201d, with the lower section having a geometry which conforms to the geometry of the elongated slot in the saddle footing so that a tight fit occurs when the lower section of the modified bridge or saddle is inserted into the elongated slot of the saddle footing.
