It is not widely known, but the bridge provides 20% of the instrument's acoustic output.

Discretely and with humility, this little piece of wood can both glorify the genius of a beautiful instrument or indeed enhance the musicality of the most ordinary of instruments.

In every case, it will play its part and write its own musical score in harmony with the instrument.

Therefore, at Despiau Chevalets, our motivation is to produce top quality bridges which will satisfy the demands of instrument makers and musicians alike.
