I have a 1926 Brazilian rosewood oval hole Martin mandolin. I have been sanding the fixed original bridge to lower the action. It is very small and have been wondering if I replace it with a fixed classic model, how that affect the sound quality. The one I have on there is so skinny and small I am wondering if the larger one would be able to transfer more tone. I have seen many flat bottom bridges on line which might work. Also I am wondering about the difference between ebony and rosewood bridges, and where to buy a quality one without breaking the bank. Thanks, Bruce.
