Abstract
A bridge for attaching strings to a musical instrument. The bridge has a body comprised of a base and a main portion with saddle chambers formed in the main portion. Holes are formed within the saddle chambers. Each saddle chamber houses a saddle members therein. The saddle members have adjusting elements that both adjust the position of the string by changing the position of the saddle member, and adjust the position of the string on the saddle member. A plurality of coupling screws secure the bridge to the body of the instrument. Strings are threaded over the saddle member, through the bridge and out through the compression screws where they are secured or knotted.
