As a bassist, I only use adjustable bridges, well worth the
investment, however unless you have precision equipment, buy them
premade, trust me on this ;) I watched a luithier turn my good bridge
into an adjustable bridge, was a GREAT deal of work.

Hi Gary,
We are working on the idea and plan to have them for sale in the
future and may even include them in our kit hurdy-gurdy. Just think
of it, no more paper to cut & fit. Just turn of two thumb wheels
and you can tweek the sound (maybe even while cranking). It seems
reasonable to us big time.

Hi!
I was recently at a jam session with a fellow that had an upright
string bass with an adjustable bridge. The bridge has two wheels
that turn fine-thread screws to raise and lower the height of the
bridge. He got it from: http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product_details.cfm?ProdID=1413
I wondered if anybody has seen a similar bridge used on a hurdy
gurdy - it would save shimming.
Very best regards,
