The design of a cello bridge affects how it responds to the bow. The Chinese Cello Bridge Belgian style produces a louder sound and crisper gut G and C strings. A lighter-weight bridge design produces a brighter sound that requires less effort for bowing but may be less flexible in colouring the sound.

The soundpost of a stringed instrument is made from spruce. It has two functions - sound and structure. The soundpost carries sound from the soundboard to the back of the instrument, amplifying the sound of the strings. Correct positioning is crucial for the desired sound quality. The soundpost also provides support to the top plate, along with the bass bar. It prevents cracking of the spruce top caused by the treble foot of the bridge under the higher-sounding strings.
