Description
French Cello Bridge Half Size
French Cello Bridge Half Size provides a superior tonal foundation for developing cellists. Crafted from aged, tone-matched maple, this blank supports a mellow, rich sound preferred in orchestral and educational settings. Its rounded French 1 arch and broad feet promote strong resonance transfer and even vibration across all four strings.
This model is ideal for students, rental programs, and luthiers setting up fractional-size instruments. Unlike Belgian bridges, the French Cello Bridge Half Size prioritizes warmth and depth of tone—making it easier for younger players to produce smooth, musical results. Whether for lessons, school performances, or home practice, this bridge enhances clarity and control.
The bridge is delivered as a blank and requires fitting by a luthier or trained technician. Proper trimming of the feet and carving of the string notches will unlock the full potential of your cello, improving projection, articulation, and tuning stability. This gives flexibility to shape it exactly to your instrument’s arch and string height needs.
French Cello Bridge Half Size is built for repeatable results and trusted by music educators who need consistent setups across multiple instruments. It’s durable, resonant, and refined—an upgrade from generic factory bridges that often come with beginner instruments.
Installation Tip: Always measure the arch curvature and top plate contact points before trimming. Uneven feet or string spacing can negatively affect tone and cause buzzing.
