A bridge and means for mounting the rear end of each of a plurality of strings on said bridge, the bridge including a plurality of saddles to which strings are individually attached wherein each saddle is adjustable longitudinally of the string in order to vary the effective length of the string for harmonious tuning and the saddle is adjustable without varying the effective length of the string in order to provide a fine tuning variation in tension for pitch. The invention relates to the specific means of mounting the end of the string on its individual saddle of the bridge wherein a substantially tubular member is provided with a groove extending downwardly, substantially normal to the body of the instrument to which the bridge is secured. The string passes through said groove and a bead on the end of the string initially anchors the string with respect to the groove. The string is anchored with respect to the saddle by a clamping jaw bearing against the string and a bearing surface in the saddle moved into tight engagement by a screw. The string and its bearing surface extends on one side of the screw which effects the clamping operation and the adjustments for tension and effective length extend on the opposite side of the screw.
