I have taken this
Treble bridge from the painting of Jean Garnier. As you
can see, there are some small changes made, but the main idea
of
a very simple designed bridge is kept. It gives a beautiful
open
sound with caracter and strength. I am very satisfied with the result,
and I have aplied it on several instruments now.
