step 1
Before hardening the wooden bridge, take careful note
of the positions of the legs so they can be repositioned
easily after hardening the wood. take a picture if necessary.
remove the legs, torx screws and locking disks and peel
off the rubber pads. Place the wooden bridge sideways
on a sheet of paper and copy its curve with a pencil. this
drawing will be important during the hardening process.
also look at the wooden bridge from the chest end and
note its twist.
step 2
Pre-heat an oven to
200º C
and place
the wooden bridge
only
on its side in the middle of the oven for
1 minute
.
Place the wood directly onto an ordinary wire oven shelf.
Do not use a solid shelf or tray as this will cause damage to
the wood.
step 3
remove the wooden bridge with oven gloves and compare
its curve with the line drawn on the paper. sometimes at
this point the shoulder bend and twist will need slight rein-
forcing. While the wood is still warm, carefully bend it to fit
the line. remember that putting the rest on the violin
will slightly emphasise the bend.
step 4
When you are happy with its shape, place the wooden
bridge back into the oven for another
3 minutes at 200º C
to finalise the hardening process. remove the wood with
oven gloves and let it cool down. From now on, do not
try to bend the wood as it will break. the rest can then be
reassembled.
the rubber pads can be reattached after hardening the
wood, although they may not stick as well as before. if they
do not regain stickiness after a day, replace them with the
new ones provided.
it is normal for the colour of the rest to be slightly darker at
the end of this hardening process.
