Original Brekke Bridge
Your Music - Your Style - Your Choice
Brekke Bridge ordering information below:
The "Original Brekke Bridge" U.S. Pat. No. 6,031,165, shown above, was licensed to Sound To Earth, Weber Mandolins. With the sale of Sound To Earth to Two Old Hippies, the bridge design returned to me and is sold through Bridger Products.
New April 2016
The original bridge has been updated with several new changes and improvements. It will also be available with either an ebony or a maple base.
The most important changes to the design are:
(1) Custom threaded brass inserts to support the adjustment screws.
(2) The base and saddle are shorter than the Original Weber bridges.
(3) The bottom arch is more generic than the Weber bridges.
(4) The number of base sizes were reduced from (4) sizes to (2) sizes.
(5) A gold plated 1/16 inch Hex adjustment wrench.

Ordering a Bridge
In general, we try to support local brick and mortar music stores and luthiers. Instrument bridges, in particular, require proper installation to achieve their best performance. A good instrument set-up done by an experienced professional is always recommended. Please check for a dealer in your area.
If there is not a dealer in your area but you have someone that you trust to work on your instrument, we are willing to work with them to get the correct bridge for your instrument. Either ask them to contact us or email us thier contact information at bridgerproducts@hotmail.com and we will contact them for you.
You may also order a bridge directly from us if you feel comfortable doing your own bridge installation. Please email us with the information listed below and we will help you get the proper bridge.
To order a bridge directly:
1) Measure the height of your existing bridge at the height you prefer:
(from the top of your instrument to the top of the saddle)
2) Determine if the saddle/fretboard is flat or has a radius.
3) Email the information to: bridgerproducts@hotmail.com
