Gewa Despiau bass bridge

The Despiau Basbrug 1/8 is a violin bridge specifically designed for 1/8 size instruments, featuring a standard foot width of 115 millimeters. Made from carefully selected maple wood that has undergone a hardening treatment, this bridge offers enhanced durability and consistent acoustic performance. The natural wood surface preserves the authentic appearance of the material, while the deep arch design allows for optimal string clearance and bow guidance. This blank bridge is delivered in an unprocessed state, enabling professional luthiers to precisely adapt it to the individual requirements of the instrument. The standard heart design provides balanced tonal qualities suitable for developing musicians. Manufactured by Despiau, this bridge represents French craftsmanship in string instrument accessories with a particular focus on precise measurements and material quality. The hardening treatment process ensures long-term structural stability under string tension while preserving the natural acoustic properties of the wood. The size specification of 1/8 makes this bridge ideal for young violinists making progress in their musical education, as it provides the right setup for smaller instruments. The blank configuration allows for professional adjustments of string spacing, height, and contour to meet specific playing preferences and instrument characteristics. This bridge design supports clear projection and engaging playability while meeting the technical demands of smaller violins. The natural maple construction contributes to warm, balanced tonal qualities that complement the acoustic properties of student and mid-range instruments.
