<p>Joel may reply to your post as he is in regular contact here. I prefer a "Morley" style made of maple as can be seen at the bottom of Joel's Shop page (where you could buy one!) I have made a few of these bridges from old maple flooring timber. I prefer to make a 5/8" tall bridge that I can reduce in height by sanding the feet to get the correct action height for the strings.</p>
<p>When I was much younger, I did a video on the simple set-up of a banjo for Classic style. :-)</p>
<p>I talk about bridges at around 5 minutes in:</p>

<p>You're too late. Joel Hooks (member here) was able to defeat Gollum and acquire the "One Bridge To Rule Them All". His reproductions are blessed by Galadriel and smooched by Arwen. If you have two in the same room you can sometimes hear them singing to one another in Elvish late at night when it is very still and the moon has Venus in her arms.</p>
