The function of the violin bridge is to transmit the vibration of the strings to the body of the violin, which is an important part of the violin's pronunciation. Josef Teller Company uses maple wood from the high mountains of eastern Europe to make it. Due to its high density, maple wood has a better sound transmission effect. All maple wood must be dried for more than five years to withstand the enormous pressure of the strings without deformation.
