I have a Gliga Viola and would like to replace the stock bridge,
but I'm not quite sure what's a good quality bridge for a
reasonable price.
Anyone have any recommendations.
Is it bending, or are you simply not keeping an eye on carefully adjusting it to stay upright? Tuning your violin will cause the bridge to tip.
Bridges don't cost much. About $3.00 for a good regular one (Aubert 3 star). It is just a little tiny piece of maple that was cut out on a machine. The real cost is the fitting of the bridge--which must be done correctly. If you take it to a violinmaker to do the work, then let them select the bridge "blank." If you want to fit it, then you will need to read up on the topic. I've fitted a number of bridges and they worked out fine--though I'm sure htey would have been better if a pro did them.
