How to "Really" Adjust a Violin Bridge / How To Change or Replace a Violin String: Part 3

Welcome to The Romantic School of Music.

Violin bridges are constantly getting out of adjustment, especially after replacing a string, and every musician, needs to know how to adjust their bridge. It's the only way that the performer can deliver music at its highest level.

A clarification on a drawing in this video since there are different sound openings; especially Florentines and others on "ancient" instruments: the bridge should always be centered between the notches facing each other and closest to the bridge. (Thank you Dave!)

I'm new at making videos, but this really is a genuine violin shop.

The picture at the right of the screen is of Nicolo Paganini: the eminent teacher and virtuoso of The Romantic School of Music. This was his favorite image of himself throughout his life other than the medal engraved by Antonine Bovy, and given to him by the country of France.

The violin featured in this video is entitled "The Sea" or "The Mermaid Violin" and was lovingly cut, carved and varnished by Kevin Lee Luthier. The back of this instrument is breathtaking and photographs can be seen of it at theromanticschoolofmusic.com
