Bridge construction

Bridges are made from rosewood or ebony.

You can order traditional bridges with single or double holes.


Upper left: traditional bridge with bone saddle.
Upper and lower right: bridges with double holes.


In addition I've developed a bridge, which excells in its simplicity and functionality.

On the bridge is sitting a 1 cm broad saddle with 3 slots. In this slots pieces of fretwire are attached, which can be moved between slots. So a relatively easy and fast compensation can be achieved.

The bridge as a whole functions as tieblock. So, smaller bridges are possible.

 

The smaller bridge can also be combinated with traditional bone saddle.

Different shapes are possible. My first instruments had bridges shaped as wedges (as in Kasha design). Those guitars don't sound bad, but there's also no advantage in sound over rectangular bridges. But I'd still build guitars with such bridge shapes if its the costumers will.
