Is a New Bridge on Yamaha SVC Electric Cello WORTH IT? | Journey of Music Discovery

[@travelacorn]

Thank you for this! I thought I was totally bonkers. After getting the SVC 210 I just kept thinking how weak my hands were and how difficult playing had become, before finally realizing the action was insanely high. Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed! Definitely going to pick up another bridge...

Thanks a lot, helped me with my new Yamaha 😊u are very kind and sympathy explaining. Great 🎉

[@WubTheory]

Is it weird that I liked the stock bridge better?

[@CelloCoach]

Not at all Jacob. Your preference is yours to make. It is like different cello models, some are brighter and some are darker, some have rich over tones whist others project power. With a good set of headphones and more experience, you will be able to "feel into" the fullness of the new bridge. You'll get there

[@JKBlackwell]

The new bridge makes a brighter sound 😚

[@CelloCoach]

With more depth too

I want to get another bridge for my NS wav. Same thing applies?

Cool idea... thanks for the tip

[@CelloCoach]

Glad to have helped, Mark

for the SVC 110s (this is the Japanese version of SVC110, not sure exactly what the difference is) the default bridge is already an Aubert Mirecourt. I am no professional, but looking at the wood pattern, it looks good. And so far I really like the sound.

Hi Jonathan, you mentioned that stock Bridge was too high. Did you repeat playing with the stock bridge after having it re-fitted by a luthier? It would be interesting to hear if having the bridge shaped correctly would bring it closer in comparison 🤔

[@CelloCoach]

The 2nd bridge is more seasoned, and just no comparison in the quality

Muchas gracias 😊

[@CelloCoach]

De nada

[@cookoo2155]

What song were you playing? It sounds amazing

[@VedatAkrilik]

evgeny grinko - valse please

[@CelloCoach]

OK I will do it

[@orbsphere-]

I thought that stock bridge sounded like playing a cardboard box. No comparison, new bridge much clearer.

[@CelloCoach]

good ear!

[@schubiduba1]

Much more harmonic sound and details with despiau

[@CelloCoach]

I agree

[@belabotum876]

[@CelloCoach]
