What is your preferred bridge wood?
I usually make the bridge the same material as the fretboard which is generally rosewood but I am wondering if a lighter bridge could be beneficial.
In guitar world a heavier bridge give more sustain, less volume.
For a yukulele maybe volume is more important.
I build tenors with a classical type bridge.
I am considering using walnut for bridge for my next build.
Anyone have experience with it?
