What is that?I give a few clue.Here is piece of wood with slots, few little wooden ball with hole and strings.Maybe plastic ball with hole is better.

the bridge should be at a slight angle from 90 degrees. This makes the scale length slightly longer for the thicker strings. This is called compensation. Compensating for the difference in diameter of the different strings. I measure the scale length at the thinnest string. I don't know for sure that this is proper, but it can be easily changed when using a "floating" bridge.
i am not testing that yet, but if that Bridge have rattling problem, i glue beads in slot, when i have found right position.
Why that idea come my mind?
I have seen some CBG´s where bridges assembly is little diagonal.
Usually i glue bridge right angle of strings, but i suppose at it is not allways right, so what is right angle?
I don´t know, maybe it must be find with ears. So here you have possibility change angle :)

... or did I miss the point entirely? lol
maybe somekind longer wooden ball, or little tube is better, it is not wave so easy in slot, i suppose.
