Re: Red Henry Maple Bridge
There is only so much you will change a mandolin with trading out parts.
In the end, that particular mandolin might not be loud enough for you.
I did find a slight volume increase when I changed an original bridge on a J Bovier F5 to a Cumberland bridge.
They make an excellent ebony bridge.
You might want to consider trading up to a different mandolin.
