Bridge Adjustments, Prof. Jim Woodhouse, July 5, 2024

This talk will review some recent work on bridge adjustment, involving several familiar members of the Oberlin circle. The target is to understand how much one might expect to achieve by bridge adjustment on a particular violin, both in terms of measured response and of hearing the effects. A combination of measurements on the violin body without its bridge and a simple theoretical model of the bridge dynamics will be used, to give the possibility of “virtual bridge adjustment” in which the effects of bridge properties can be explored in the computer.
