- A WONDERFUL teacher who cares so much for her students took an orchestral repair course from me last summer and today, as she’s carving her own bridges, has a few follow up questions for me.

Thank you for this great video!
Very useful video 👍👍. I wonder what different in sound the flexible bridge vs normal bridge? Thanks for sharing
Hey Mister! What's your opinion about Aubert adjustable/movable bridge? I bought it from Thomman and I took my cello and went to fix it in a musical instrument maker but i never saw any cello anywhere to have this kind of bridge. and it wasn't a cheap bridge. Do you have any opinion about the sound it can give to my cello? Thank you
They are an expensive bridge! They are not so bad in a pinch but I don't like them for sound. The grain changes direction in the feet and this is the main reason they don't sound as nice.
@@repairmasterclass thanks for your opinion! Actually.. im afraid for the same thing! But i just had it at home and at the shop that i go they prefer to put this bridge than an other maybe because they have less job to do with this. And less adjustments. But we wll see what's gona happen!
@@12345621770 Let me know what you think the results are to your sound. If you don't like it, tell this shop I offer trainings on how to do lots of orchestra repairs including carving bridges. ;)
@repairmasterclass so the sound is better! Stronger and better
timbre from before. The cello is a sr1102 4/4 stentor. And in addition to this bridge I also have Il Cannone Cello Warm & Broad strings.So, the resaults for the sound are better. but overall I find the hight of the bridge pretty high for what i used to play. and the sound post is bigger diameter now. For a student cello i don't know if this is the optimal set up. They told me that the distances for strings and height have the correct measurements. The only problem is that i get a lot of wolf tones.
What is the cost to fix a cello bridge?
Depends on the shop and what type of bridge you need but, at this time, a national average is between $75 and $150. Reach out to your local tech and allow them to inspect your instrument and get an estimate. I know they'll be happy to help.
That's not carving it's just finishing the decorative details tbh
