    No in know, but it does he same job as a one piece by allowing the sound to resonate directly to the sound chamber through wood rather than through metal screws. But you are right.

    Not sure where to post this so I thought I would post it here. Has anyone tried using a Brekke bridge on a Lyon and Healy? I want the best of both worlds. A one piece bridge which can be adjusted.
