The bridge, a delicately carved piece of maple, serves a crucial role in the cellos design. Positioned between the f-hole notches on the top, it gracefully suspends the strings above the cellos surface, allowing them to vibrate freely. This intricate design transfers the vibrations to the resonant cavity of the body, enriching the instruments tonal qualities. Additionally, the bridge acts as a spacer, ensuring the strings rest evenly above the fingerboard. While not permanently fixed, the bridge firmly maintains its position under the tension of the strings. ONLY FITS FORTE3D INSTRUMENTS
