If you want i can also include a saddle of the wedgewood, the bone will give a bright sound the wood will give a more mellow sound. The saddle is a tad bigger then the real fiddle bridge, that will give you some room to dail in the action. The rod wire comes out the right foot, and i used a full 2" rod. Plus i did the tapered profile like the real bridge fat at the bottom to real thin at the top, sets better like that.
Rod Fiddle bridge- Wedge wood with spruce insert, radiused bone saddle
This is the kind i have...2 of them.
