Next how to - shape a violin bridge

Post by simso » Tue Jan 10, 2017 6:47 pm

Okay,

Simple easy one, this is for student violins, I actually do a different process in fitting bridges for professional violins.

For professional ones I actually blade shape the feet and open the heart and ears.

But

For student instruments where they have spent a whole 200 dollars or so in the instrument, they don't want a 200 dollar bridge they want a 60 dollar supplied and fitted bridge

So here's the process
