Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a connector device for electronic musical instruments, such as electric guitars, the connector device comprising input electrical connector means (1, 2, 3), configured to receive electrical signals generated by pickup means provided in or on the instrument, when the instrument is being played by a player and at least one vibration transducer (9, 29) configured to be mechanically attached to the input electrical connector means (1, 2, 3) or being provided as an integral part of the input electrical connector means (1, 2, 3), such that vibrations from the instrument are transferred to the vibration transducer (9, 29), whereby the vibration transducer (9, 29) generates an electrical output signal based on the vibrations of the instrument. The connector device further comprises one or more electrical output connector means (4, 6; 34, 36, 37; 35, 38, 39), configured to receive the electrical signals generated by the pickup means and the electrical output signal from the vibration transducer (4, 18) and to provide these signals, or processed versions hereof, to suitable equipment, such as mixers nd/or amplifiers. In an embodiment of the invention the connector device further comprises a mixer (26), wherein the signals vg(t) from the pickup means and the signal vvib(t) from the vibration transducer are combined and that is configured to provide an output signal v0(t) that is a weighted combination of the input signals or processed versions hereof.
