What are the Advantages of a Floating Bridge?
Floating bridges are more versatile than fixed bridges and can be easily adjusted. This allows for ease of adjustments to intonation and string height. The floating bridge is one of the main features that helps to create the octave mandolin's characteristic sound, creating a bright top-end sound with plenty of attack.
