Baroque Bridges by Despiau Beside strings, another important factor in trying to get the best sound from an instrument is the set up and adjustment, especially in connection with changing the stringing profile. Experiments (even quite radical) with the placing of the sound post can always be recommended but, surprisingly enough for some, the choice of bridge model has a major impact on the performance of an instrument. We can supply many models of baroque bridge and we strongly recommend adjusting several different models to your instrument to find out which one functions best for just you. Your violin maker can do it for a relatively low cost and you often get a “new” and better instrument.
