An Unmatched Quality
Despiau bridges are a valuable asset, considering the quality of this essential component. The family business was founded in 1984, and its expertise lies in the bridge's selection, style, and design to meet the requirements of violin makers and musicians alike. They have maintained the manufacturing secrets that have made them famous worldwide. Every Despiau bridge is crafted with great care, using maple wood that has been selected based on its mechanical and acoustic qualities. The quality of the wood is ranked on a scale of one to three trees, with three being the most outstanding.
Which Suites You Best
There are two different models for cello bridges: the French and the Belgian. Each has unique characteristics that may better suit your cello:
- The Belgian bridge produces a clear, strong, and focused sound.
- The French Bridge delivers a profound, velvety, and opulent sound.
Why you should have a good bridge
- A good bridge reduces the delay in response time between the strings and the resonant body of the cello, making it more responsive to bow strokes.
- A higher quality of wood results in a more precise and controlled sound.
- The instrument's tonal performance is greatly enhanced, providing a more nuanced playing experience.
