It takes a lot of individual parts to make up a violin, and of them, the bridge is unique in a few ways. For starters, it's not glued or permanently attached to the instrument in any way. Instead, the pressure from the strings keeps it in place. This makes it easily replaceable, and doing so is a pretty routine part of violin ownership and maintenance. Violin bridges are made of maple, and they have a handful of jobs: holding the strings the correct height and arc above the fingerboard, for instance; and even more importantly, transferring vibrations down into the soundboard. That makes the choice of bridge a critical one. Thankfully, the selection of violin bridges available here makes the process a cinch. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a new violin bridge is to make sure that you pick out the right size for your instrument. It may sound like common sense, but it can be easy to overlook! The top seller, especially for beginners, is the Florea LA8170 Violin Bridge, which is super affordable and comes in sizes from full-scale 4/4 all the way down to the miniature 1/16. If you're looking for something a bit higher-end than that, consider a Glaesel model or the String Centre Aubert Adjustable Violin Bridge. Do you like the idea of plugging in your violin for recording or amplification? In that case, a bridge that deserves special attention is the Fishman V-300 Concert Series Violin Bridge with Built-In Pickup. It's based on a high-quality Despiau bridge that delivers outstanding acoustic performance, and the piezo-electric pickup carefully added by Fishman allows this bridge to be connected through a 1/4" Carpenter output jack. Add an impedance-matching preamp to get the best results, and you'll be ready to take advantage of any sound system. From pure acoustic in the Florea, Glaesel and The String Centre bridges to an acoustic-electric hybrid with the Fishman, there's something in this section for every type of player. You might even want to own a couple, so you can swap them out to see how each one affects your tone. And it's always a good idea to have a spare on hand, so even if your current bridge has some life left in it, these violin bridges are worth a close first-hand look.
