Bridge parchment, made of quality sheep or goat skin. Used primarily for string protection.
| Model | Thickness (nominal) | Use |
| Very Thin | 0.10mm-0.15mm | |
| Thin (standard) | 0.16mm-0.20mm | Violin & viola bridges |
| Medium | 0.21mm-0.25mm | Cello & bass bridges |
| Thick | 0.26-0.30mm | Bass bridges, patching & repairs |
| Patching | Thicker, stiffer pieces | Patching, repairs, crack reinforcement |
Use: Cut into small pieces and glue (we use super glue) under the highest tension/thinnest string(s) to protect the bridge from being cut into by string pressure.
Thicker pieces can be glued with animal glue inside an instrument to reinforce fragile areas, or complex repairs where a larger surface needs to be stabilized. Thicknesses can vary in a sheet as these are natural material, therefore, thickness dimension is approximate.
Average sheet sizes are around 3 × 12 inches (7.5cm x 30cm), which will serve for many bridges.
