I am currently playing a Balázs Nagy guitar-bodies French-style instrument. I really like it, especially for the powerful buzzing bridge (a characteristic of Balázs' instruments), but there are some contexts where a more subtle bridge sound would be more suitable. So the question I have is how one goes about making a buzzing bridge to be responsive yet quiet. What design consideration goes into it? If it helps, here is an image of the current buzzing bridge: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/ FrenchBuzzingBridge.jpg I would ideally like to have a different bridge for when I want a quieter sound and to keep this one for when I want a powerful sound. I should also add that the string geometry is correct: this isn't a case of an instrument with a strong deflection of the trompette at the wheel, which I know is often a problem. Instead it is almost perfectly tangential to the surface of the wheel with no visible deflection at all. Therefore it isn't a simple matter of adjusting the location of the bridge or its length. Any thoughts from anyone on the list? -Arle
