I too is an engineer who is somewhat handy with tools. Cutting my third bridge tomorrow. The first two were done using cheap ebay bridges. Now I am ready to use a decent blank..hopefully will make a difference in terms of sound quality. <br /><br />Next week, I am cutting another one which will be for my cello instead of my son. This one is a Belgium bridge instead of French. Unfortunately there isn't much information available out there.

I'm the same. The neck broke off my daughter's cello when the hard case it was in fell over. So rather than taking it to a luthier, it repaired it myself. In the process I noticed the the bridge is significantly bend forward at the height of the heart. My daughter said "that's ok I have a spare" and presented me with a blank. (Not what I was expecting, since I know nothing about cellos). So I too found Sally's article and got inspired. As the fingerboard is slightly crooked on the cello (not due to my repair!), I will have to adjust the leg lengths as she describes. I am very excited to craft the new bridge, I'll send you and her a photo once I'm done.

If you have that right then it is right.<br /><br />My daughter plays the cello with this bridge, she hasn't complained and it sounds nice, even right up the fretboard on the A string. One teacher commented on it - I think the way I made it looks quite different to normal bridges - she said that it looked good and played nicely. That made me feel better!JAWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318003562454008338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-74585161062071920122020-05-09T22:26:19.415+08:002020-05-09T22:26:19.415+08:00Hi, your bridge profile on the image of the final ...Hi, your bridge profile on the image of the final and blank, is really low, does it help with the sound and comfort of playing?

Fitting the bridge on my washtub cello is still a couple of steps away for me, first I've got to cut the neck and fit it to the bucket which will probably take until way into September -- https://twitter.com/themodestokid/status/1028428346747699200The Modesto Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495938191100565263noreply@blogger.com
