GENERAL INFORMATION
The string vibration on the bridge (and thus the audible overtones) depends upon the angle of the bridge and the tension, thickness and material of the strings. A thread between the string and the bridge allows subtle manipulations of the contact angle. By moving the thread position the buzz of each string can be adjusted individually. The above description is meant to give a rough orientation. Each instrument is a hand-crafted individual and might differ from the description.
