i'm thinking about how i wanna finish the bridge, and

if i were thinking of using this cello for a nonstandard tuning,

like this weird bass violin range between the normal contrabass [viol] and [tenor] cello tunings

the angle on the bridge /feet/ might need to be specialized slightly for such a silly tuning, given the difference in pressure from the de-tuned strings

I carved about 7mm off the bridge to start, fiddled with it for a sec, then took another 1mm off the "C" string so that I could actually manage reliable string crossings

I've never carved a bridge before, and I am totally unqualified to do so

Also playing around with scordatura - just standard fifths cello tuning taken /down a fourth/, so high2low = E,A,D,G.

I'm playing like shit, but it sounds pretty good for a $15 cello, haha~ :3

I'm playing like shit, but it sounds pretty good for a $50 cello, haha~ :3
