How to Adjust/Attach a Violin or Viola Bridge

This video shows you how to put your bridge on the instrument and how to adjust the bridge when it moves out of place. This method works for both violins and violas.
*Do NOT glue the bridge in place. The bridge is held in place by the strings only. This allows us to easily make adjustments to the bridge and replace it when we need to.

I bought a Chinese violin (no bridge) at a thrift store. So this video is very helpful.

thank you for this! i just ordered a student viola online and i wasn’t sure how to attach the bridge.

Cool violin, does that add a lot of weight to it? I have a semi-hollow body that I can't play for long periods because it's too heavy. :(

please show the length of measure from the nut to bridge

One question what bridge is that?

[@AnnaElizabeth-Music]

The label on the bridge says “Heilongjiang a siyu.” They’re bridges that I bought online in bulk and had to shape myself to be the right height. Hopefully you have something a little better to work with!
