Abstract

We consider the $\Theta^+(1540)$ pentaquark in the string model that correctly reproduces the linear Regge trajectories for the case of orbital excitations of light $q\bar q$ mesons and $qqq$ baryons. Assuming (and arguing in favour of) the diquark-antiquark-diquark ($[ud]\bar s [ud]$) clustering of this orbitally excited object we found its mass about $290 \rm {MeV}$ above the experimental value $1540 \rm {MeV}$. In the model considered this discrepancy could be attributed to the change of the constituent mass of $\bar s$ antiquark as compared to that of $s$ quark localized at the string end.
