Cutting a bridge on a 1/4 size violin

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Here, I demonstrate and narrate the processes I follow to cut and fit a bridge on a 1/4 size violin. These are the same for any stringed instrument bridge I set up, just obviously varying in dimension! Thanks for watching! Feel free to post any questions or comments and I’ll be sure to respond.
