Dr G Cello Bridge French 1 Model Full Size
The Dr G Cello Bridge French 1 Model Full Size follows the traditional French model geometry — known for its slimmer legs and more curved heart. This shape helps generate a brighter, more projecting tone with clear articulation from low C to high A. Whether for solo work, orchestral performance, or student upgrades, this bridge delivers consistent results.
Handcrafted from aged maple or ash, each Dr G Cello Bridge French 1 Model Full Size is cut with tight, vertical grain structure to promote vibration transfer and stability. You can order the bridge as a fully blank model or pre-thinned to standard thickness for faster carving.
Luthiers can customize the arch and feet to fit the instrument’s top, ensuring flush contact and stable pressure distribution. The French 1 Model is frequently chosen for both traditional and modern cello setups.
Available Variants:
- Blank – requires thinning and full carving
- Blank thinned – pre-thinned to save time, still requires fitting
