The height of a bridge is one of the key factors in how comfortable an instrument is to play. Our student bridges are left a fraction higher than that of a professional to avoid buzzing on the fingerboard but maintain a comfortable playing height.

The thickness of a bridge has an effect on the sound and the longevity of a bridge. The thicker the bridge, the less likely it is to warp. The thinner the bridge, the better the tonality.
