Description

The body is hollow, moulded from a Kevlar and carbon fibre composite with a high strength to weight ratio.The hollow body generates a sound profile within body structure presenting an open sound without the use of reverb or delay. It is smooth and forgiving when played and allows low volume practice without the use of headphones or amps. Very stable across temperature and humidity ranges.CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS– Bodyshell:Hollow moulded bodyshell, from carbon fibre and kevlar composites, giving a high strength to weight ratio and stability across temperature and humidity ranges. The hollow body generates a sound profile within body structure presenting an open sound without the use of reverb or delay. Smooth and forgiving when played, but with real strength in the body shell construction. The hollow body allows low volume practice without the use of headphones or amps.– Headstock & Neck:The neck and headstock are carved from a single maple block. The headstock design is a modified copy of the 1710 Stradivari Viola da Gamba head. The neck is hand coloured and finished with oils, for a fast, smooth, traditional finish. All repairs which become necessary with time to acoustic orchestral string instruments, can be performed byluthiers on Bridge instruments (E.g. replacing or shooting fingerboards(traditional glues have been used), nut re-shaping and peg fitting).– Fingerboard: Ebony fingerboard, shaped to professional specifications.FITTINGS ON BRIDGE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS– Pegs: Cellos are fitted with swiss pattern ebony pegs.– Nut: Ebony nut. – Bridge:The BRIDGE pick up system is encapsulated within the bridge, designed by BRIDGE, specifically to function with BRIDGE instruments.– Tailpiece:Violins and cellos are fitted with lightweight alloy tuner tailpieces and fine adjusters for accurate tuning.

Basses use an ebony plug, notched steel rod with brass screw and ferrule, and removable rubber protector.ELECTRONICS ON BRIDGE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS– Bridge Pick-Up System:The pickup system is designed by Bridge and unique to these instruments. It uses a piezo crystal configuration giving an accurate acoustic sound with an even tone. The pickup uses all mechanical movements of the instrument to generate its acoustic sound.– Bridge Active Circuitry:Each instrument has its own bespoke electronics, frequency dedicated toits string configuration and designed to perform in conjunction with the BRIDGE pick-up system. It’s capable of driving effects and radio packs and puts the string player on equal footing with every other amplified instrument in the band and has a sophisticated active circuitry dedicated to the frequency range of the instrument.– Volume & Tone controls:The tone control is a tilt control, not a boost/cut control, changing the tonal range of the instrument with control of performance and optimum sound profile for any style of music performance.– Battery:Violins use a 20mm 3V coin cell battery which keeps the instruments lightweight and is quick and easy to replace, giving approx 1000 hours playing time. Cellos and Basses use a 9V battery giving approx 3000 hours playing time.– Jack Socket: 1/4– Bridge Draco 4 String Electric Cello endoresees …* CHi 2 Strings (Moby, Anastasia, Boy George, Nelly Furtado)* Eclipse String Quartet* Quadrafonic Quartet (Oasis, Paul Weller, Massive Attack)* Timon Birkhofer (Leaves Eyes, Liv Kristine)* Siren Quartet (Gnarls Barkley, Simly Red, Mika, Geri Halliwell)* Sigur Ros (Amongst others Radiohead)Dragon Strings Electric String OrchestraBridge Draco Electric Cello In Green With Hard Case
