Abstract:
An onboard electronic system and associated method enables a player of an acoustic stringed instrument to control an electronic signal for modifying and amplifying sound while playing an instrument. The onboard electronic system is embedded in the tailpiece and/or the chinrest portions and/or shoulder-rest portion of the stringed instrument, and includes at least one pickup, a battery-powered amplification unit and at least one controller. The method includes steps for controlling sound amplification and tonal modification onboard an acoustic stringed instrument. The steps include sensing vibration from strings with a pickup, generating an electrical signal and transmitting the electrical signal to an amplification unit via an input cable, and modifying the electrical signal in response to one or more controllers located onboard the instrument.

Claim (Index 1):
An onboard electronic system for amplification and tonal modification of sound from an acoustic stringed instrument, comprising:\n a bridge, the bridge capable of supporting at least one pickup; a tailpiece portion; a shoulder-rest portion; the shoulder-rest portion hosting an electronic circuitry; one or more pickup to sense vibration of the string and to generate an electrical signal of the vibration; battery-powered amplification unit coupled to the electronic circuitry for amplifying the electrical signal; and one or more controller for modifying the electrical signal via the amplification unit.
