That looks great! I'll have to try some brass for my tail pieces, etc. Maybe will have to buy a vice to bend the metal, but your advice on filing a groove in it before bending should help.
Made of brass bar, brass rod, screws & springs, all available at Ace Hardware. Brass can be cut, drilled, filed, sanded, etc. just like wood. Bending the brass bar was a hurdle, till I figured out that I could file a groove in it till it could be bent in a vise. Since the strings attach in the holes in the base, there's no pressure on the rear of the bridge plate which merely holds the adjustment screws.
