SKY Fitted 4/4 Full Size Violin Maple Bridge

I just received my bridge and I was surprised. I expected to have to carve and make adjustments to the bridge to get a finished fit. I was wrong! The feet on the bridge were very smooth. In order to prevent the bridge from slipping I made a few scribe marks parallel to the length of the feet. I then set the bridge in place. The cut of the feet is perfect. I did not have to do any carving. The string spacing is perfect and the installation only took about 15 mins.The tone is somewhat richer. This product is really great, fit, form and tonal results are much better than I expected. This bridge is well worth the money. This bridge fits much better than the bridge that came with my cello,

I bought this for a Cremona student cello. The bridge that came with it originally was too low so the strings were buzzing against fingerboard. This bridge is pre-cut to a standard, complete with string grooves, but because all cellos are different, it may not fit out of the box. I used a piece of sandpaper and a luthier sanding tool to sand the feet to match the curvature of my cello. I shortened the top by a few millimeters to the correct string height and remade the string notches. Now it fits great, and no more buzzing!! In fact, It sounds even better. Cello is more responsive. Shipped fast. Made of good material.

This is a high-quality bridge and definitely pre-fitted compared to other bridge blanks I’ve purchased from Amazon. It’s significantly taller than my current bridge on my 4/4 full size cello, so you definitely need to plan on shaping the top to get that right fit. I’m my pics you can see the side by side difference. I if I had gone with this, I would probably need to shape the feet as well to get it right, this definitely takes a lot of time, precision, and woodworking ability. But this one is closer to a finished product than other options.

Very useful merchandise for my business. Very pleased !

Esta me sirbió mucho pera la viola del niño biene con sus canales perfecta

I ordered this bridge to replace the existing bridge on my daughter's cello. It has a chip taken out of it, and the bridge was constantly slipping. Thinking I could do it myself, I researched how to fit a bridge, and found that it was a bit more involved than I had assumed. So I took it to a stringed instrument repair shop near where I live. They maintain the instruments for professionals who play in the Washington D.C. area (including the National Symphony Orchestra), and have highly experienced luthiers on staff. The luthier took one look at this bridge and said that it was unusable on my cello since it was 1) going to be too short 2) not fitted to the cello (which is the work that he does), and could not be fitted to the cello since 3) the thickness of the legs was too thin to possibly carve any more stock out to custom make it fit. I was confused. If all cello tops are different (they are), then how could a company that makes them know what brand cello you have and craft one to fit your particular cello without even laying eyes or hands on it? His answer: "They can't. They mass manufacture these to fit a cello they have chosen, and because they have done that, they can claim that it is "fitted"" - which is exactly what the seller advertises...twice. These are NOT "fitted" bridges - well they are, but fitted to a cello you'll never see. They may fit. They most likely won't fit. The legs won't sit perfectly conformed to the top of your cello. Thus, they most likely won't transmit sound very well, and they will most likely slip. The luthier told me that what is needed is a "blank" - a bridge that has NOT been touched in any way since it will have to be custom carved, by an experienced hand, to fit your particular cello. They match the legs to the cello top. And then they will cut the grooves into the top to hold the strings in place. Unfortunately, I ordered this over the summer thinking I could do the work myself in time for the school year. Now, since I'm beyond the return window, I'm left with a worthless piece of wood that I'll probably use as kindling for my fireplace. Terrible experience. Waste of my time and money.

Fit well, what i needed

I live this bridge! It’s perfect for my project violin. It has enough curve to it, barely needed any sanding to fit my violin, and already had notches for the strings (which some don’t come with them and you have to figure out the spacing). I highly recommend this bridge to anyone needing a replacement or simply wanting an upgrade!
