This small piece of maple wood has been selected with great care through analyses of its mechanical and acoustic qualities. This is how the different qualities are ranked, with one tree being the most common, and up to three trees representing the most outstanding bridges.

Advantages of a good bridge

• Responsiveness: a good bridge lessens the delay in response time between the string and the resonant body of the instrument. Therefore, the viola reacts faster to bow strokes.
• Brightness: a higher quality of wood also leads to a more precise and controlled sound.
• Power: the tonal performance of the instrument is greatly enhanced and will provide a more nuanced playing experience.
