Violin-making, as it was and is : being a historical, theoretical, and practical treatise on the science and art of violin-making, for the use of violin makers and players, amateur and professional . this distance, the height of thefinger ooard must be suited to that of the bridge, not the heightof the bridge to that of the finger-board. Again • it wasnoticed by M. Sibire in 1806 that at that time the augmentationof the height of the bridge ^ of an inch raised the pressure onthe strings by seven pounds, and this proportion has, of course, increased with the since-raised pitch. According to Otto, a good violin, whose wood has not beenworked too thin, will require a higher bridge, as the vibrationsare easier to produce, though the higher the bridge the moreperceptible become the faults of the fiddle ; and, on the otherhand, certain faults may, in some measure, be glossed over by alow bridge, at the expense, however, of the power of the instrument. In an earlier edition of the same work, the author con-tends that the suitability x>f a bridge depends more upon itsweight than its height; and mentions a somewhat ingeniousmode of discovering the precise weight of bridge which any 11. 162 VIOLIN-MAKING : AS IT WAS AND IS. instrument requires. He made six little wooden clips, like one-pronged mutes, weighing respectively 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12grains. Having found that any bridge was unsuitable to theinstrument to which it was applied, he tried on it successivelythese little wooden weights, clipping them between the D and Astrings. Having found thus with which clip the result was best, he weighed the clip and the bridge together and proceeded tomake a new bridge, the weight of the old one plus the satis-factory clip. Of course the clips must only act as weights, andnot hold the bridge so as to act as mutes ; and I do not see howthe latter contingency can possibly be obviated. The bridge must be made of spotted maple, neither toohard nor too soft, the grain horizontal, and
