hand, you get many advantages: get rid of the paper shims and can change the
bridge to wheel distance to get a better upper octave tuning. About teh
Maybe a very dumb question: Do these adjustable bridges exist ready made
or are they custom build by the builders of certain instrument.
If ready-made bridges exist I would really consider changing the bridge
on my HG's. Shimming is a bore and octave tuning a b!
When I was young and pretty I
I strongly suspect they are custom built for each model of HG, they would
have to be
On octave tuning, this should only take a few seconds on each string
The rule is:
When you move the nut, all the tangents follow it in the same direction

I have put a close up picture of the adjustable bridge on my alto on my website.

This will give you a view of the bridge.
You may need to allow pop-ups but I do not think so.

In the lower part of the bridge, about one third up from the soundboard are
two metal wheels: they screw the bridge up and down.

It has come to my attention that at least one copy of our Hurdy-gurdy
Method has been copied to the point of extinction. By doing this instead
of buying a copy reduces the income of the author (my wife) and the
publisher (myself). I consider this to be an unscrupulous and scurvy
thing to do and

Michael,
Where does one get a legitimate copy? I've never seen one for sale
where I could get it, so I simply do not have the book at all. (No, I
have not pirated it.)
I'm not trying to justify piracy of the material, but often times
people copy things that they can't otherwise obtain. I
Regardless of your platform, Adobe Acrobat Professional will allow
water seals digitally embedded into the copy. You also can password
protect it with the users name, code, etc that would reflect that
person whom bought it.
There is also a way to encrypt of, so it can't be copied, printed,
