Campanella Bridge Adjustment Wedge
Campanella Bridge Adjustment Wedge
"A beautifully elegant solution to a vexing problem": Master your mandolin's string action with this bridge adjustment wedge. Luthier-developed and designed, this low angle compound wedge allows safe and quick changes in string height, to adapt to seasonal changes and personal preference. This tool is handmade with the same attention to detail as Campanella mandolins--finished with chamfered edges, shellac and beeswax. Available in Ebony or Vermont Hard Maple. Instructions, string action chart and 150mm metric ruler (made in USA) included.
The Ebony bridge wedge is perfectly balanced in the hand, and an ideal match to the bridge saddle and base. This is an elegant tool for a fine instrument or for regular use. $60 + $5 shipping in the US.
The Vermont Maple wedge is a more sustainable and affordable option. Hard (or Sugar) Maple is extremely dense, perfectly serving the function of the tool, but is locally available to my shop. This version is made from carefully selected Maple, featuring flame figure and other attractive grain patterns. $45 + $5 shipping in the US
