An Unmatched Quality

Despiau bridges are precious components known for their exceptional quality. The family-owned business has been operating since 1984 and specializes in selecting, designing and crafting bridges that meet the needs of both violin makers and musicians. They have kept their manufacturing techniques a secret, which has made them renowned worldwide. Every Despiau bridge is meticulously crafted from high-quality maple wood, chosen for its acoustic and mechanical properties. The wood is rated on a scale of one to three trees, with three being the highest quality.

Which Suites You Best

There are two models for cello bridges: French and Belgian. Each has unique characteristics that may 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 enhances cello responsiveness to bow strokes by reducing the delay between strings and the resonant body.
• 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.
