Riciey, it does have a down angle so it breaks ok and the sound is very nice. I do agree its too big and Im adjusting my next one accodingly. Minium work to set intonation which suprised me. Cudos to those for sharing their pitfalls, it saved me lots of trial and error. Thanks to all who post, I love this site!
This looks really nice, good work. Fret job is very neat, and the hinge tailpiece looks good.
If I could offer one bit of feedback; the bridge is rather chunky. Are the strings resting along the full width of it? You might find the notes ring out better if the strings are in contact with only a small area on the top. Plus you could probably get 2 bridges out of that one piece of bone.
