My wedge is just that - like a door wedge (or a wedge of cheese but don't use that unless you snack while playing) made of wood Probably about 5cm by 2cm and rising to the height is whatever the height of the string is off the soundboard plus a teeny bit more (as it's a wedge, it's able to allow for different heights) and the clothes pins are also wooden and speak for themselves (the ones with a spring in them, not the split wood ones). The weight of the string keeps it in place.(usually). Doesn't seem to need any notches etc. Can't see why any small object of the right size couldn't be used on a trompette. It's only like a small bridge. However, I use it occasionally only so wouldn't say if it would be suitable for a whole evening of enthusiastic playing. Maybe others use the term "wedge" to mean something different of course so pics would be handy.

Craig made a wedge while I was at work, but wasn't the right size. I have a guitar-shaped hg. I can't rest the capo against the soundboard, as there isn't any in the spot I need to place it to raise the pitch one note. So, I guess it has to go against the key box.
