On a cello, the strings are attached to the tailpiece and are held above the soundboard by the bridge..

] Furthermore, DR-7s with a four-digit ink stamped label serial number, a zero fret and an adjustable bridge saddle strongly suggests a very early ('70-'71) build date. Some early 1970s Sigma guitar serial numbers (c.1972–1975) began with 7X0 suggesting the 197X build date (e.g. 750XXXXX possibly equates to a build year 1975.) These were ...
An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar.
