Thanks for your interest. I have 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, and a few 3/4 in stock. If you need something else, let me know. I'm the guy who wrote the Banjo Newsletter review of Eddie Adcock's instruction video. I also wrote a cover feature for Bluegrass Unlimited : "Down Home with Eddie and Martha Adcock".

All of the bridges are "pure" (solid wood) - there is no ebony (or "ebonized") strip glued to the top; I feel that this interferes with the transferrence.  My favorite woods are Bloodwood, Rosewood, Walnut, and Cherry. These woods are tough enough to last several years without any degradation to the string grooves. The bridges are $24.95, including priority mail. You may exchange by including priority postage with your returned bridge.  If you really want to experiment, send me an extra check for $20, and I'll send you a three-pack to test different woods - I won't cash that second check for thirty days, giving you enough time to decide which of the three you want to keep.  Return the other two in good condition, and I'll send your $20.00 check back. Please feel free to call - it will help me create the best possible bridge for your particular tastes.                    Back to Home Page
