Bridge Tools

Description

Cello Bridge Foot Expander: To simulate string tension when fitting cello bridges for more accurate fitting of feet. 

Bridge Marker: Machined aluminum gauge, marks string notches on all bridges from 4/4 cello to 1/8 violin.

String Lifters: Measures needed bridge height quickly and safely, without removing strings.
     Sizes: Violin/Viola; Cello; Bass

Bridge Foot Fitting Jig: Used to fit the feet of a bridge quickly and smoothly. Sizes: Violin/Viola; Cello, Bass (with or without wheel*)

*Item# R604SB (Bass bridge sled without wheel) – this is ideal for bass bridge/blanks that have adjuster wheels, the jig is designed to help keep the bridge feet secure and the bridge back perpendicular to a band saw blade and/or spindle sander when roughing the feet and bridge top. 

If you reverse the direction of the bridge in the holder, the jig plate can then be clamped into a vice to hold everything together while the “crown” of the bridge is shaped using hand tools.

It also helps keep the feet and body aligned and together when making adjustments to an already installed bridge (with or without strings on).
