Acoustic-cut Bridges
The bridge is the link between the strings and the soundboard. It is the only point of direct contact between the two. It bears more than 1,000 pounds of pressure from the strings and translates their vibrations into the body of the instrument. Albert Webers work has resulted in an Acoustic-cut Bridge that has a superior design. Vertical lamination provides strength and stability while directing energy into the soundboard. Tapered and raised bridge sections, at calculated points, allow the soundboard more freedom to vibrate, creating a rich, full tone.
