Viola Bridge

The bridge is very important in transmitting the sound of your viola. It serves as the conduit between the strings and the body of the instrument. Many advance players prefer to have their bridges "customized" by viola luthiers in order to draw out an even better tone from their instrument.

The sound post  is never glued in place, it is like a wood dowel that is placed inside the violin directly under the bridge (more or less) from the top to the back of the violin.
