     - Cello Bridge -

     'Belgian' Style

high quality old flamed maple

(please see our other shop listing for 'French' style cello bridges)


these Belgian style cello bridges are laser cut made from beautiful flamed maple timber that crucially has been naturally dried over 15 years.

Each bridge you order has been examined and specially selected.

over time the bridge of a cello can warp - especially in a forward curve from the feet upwards toward the finger board / scroll due to the pull of the strings under tension since the bridge is not placed equidistant between the two string ends. When this occurs, the only solution is a new fitted bridge. These bridges on sale are ideal for this purpose and will give years of service.

This is an opportunity to purchase a quality product cut with the sophistication of modern technology.

The legs of the French bridge account for approximately half its height and within this basic design there is plenty of latitude for the luthier to choose slightly different shapes and thicknesses to control the tonal outcome. The French bridge is often a good choice for bright-sounding cellos. The Belgian bridge has longer legs than the French model and a more compact heart and upper body. The reduced mass of wood above the Belgian heart produces a sound which is brighter and more open than the French bridge – and often louder. The Belgian bridge emphasises the upper register of the cello and can also be used to make the sound of gut G and C strings more crisp and clean. Cellos with an inherently dark sound often benefit from the fitting of a Belgian bridge.
