ABSTRACT:
A bridge for a stringed instrument, preferably a violin, is disclosed for the purpose of enhancing the volume and tone quality of the instrument. The bridge is made from wood and has an upper generally oval body portion which is supported by the lower inverted V-shaped leg section. The body portion includes four slits through its width, associated with the strings as described in detail in the specification. The leg portion includes two slits aligned to form another inverted V-shape conforming to the shape of the leg portion. The leg portion may also have holes drilled into it for the purpose of removing material to reduce the overall weight of the bridge. Several preferred contours are disclosed for the body portion, one of which may be selected for use with different stringed instruments.
