Looking at the instruments of the Cité de la Musique seems to show that ivory

Dear All,
As far as bridge toppings are concerned, there is no doubt that that
they are purely decorative and/or practical.
Acoustically I doubt that anyone knows much about how it works, but it
is obvious that the lute bridge is a very small, low-mass connector of
the strings to the
Thanks for the replies, I'm not planning to build a lute, just curious

A bone (ivory or some other) cap on top of the bridge is merely there
for decorative purposes. It can only affect the sound if its mass is of
significant proportion to that of the bridge. In practice, though, it
is negligible.
Classical guitars have a saddle on the bridge which
Never had a bone on any of my lute bridges (except the guitar saddle
bone on my first guitary-semi-lute). I have never seen a bone on any
lute bridge either. A thin slice of bone, ivory, or hard wood seems like
a good idea to limit string wear on the top edges of a bridge, so long
as it does
Thanks Alexander. I was curious about this little piece of bone found
in some lutes, so according to you it's only a decorative ornament. Are
there better types of woods for the bridge, denser materials maybe?
I thought the saddle, being the material between the string and the
Dear Daniel,
This thin slice of bone is precisely what I was referring to. I'm sure
you have seen many lutes with these cap.
All the best.
