Aubert À Mirecourt Deluxe Cello Bridge #18L – 94mm ‘French’ (Untreated)

The Aubert À Mirecourt Deluxe #18L (94mm) is an oversized professional bridge blank, meticulously crafted in France for cellos with wider proportions or specific structural requirements. As part of Aubert’s top-tier "Deluxe" range, this blank is carved from the most resonant, select aged maple available. This untreated version is the preferred choice for master luthiers who require the purest wood quality to perform custom tonal graduations and professional seasoning.

Angkor Music Luthier Insight

The 94mm foot width is specialized for cellos with a wider bass bar placement or a larger body pattern, such as certain Montagnana models. At Angkor Music, we source the Untreated Deluxe because it provides the luthier with an unadulterated starting point. With a generous 108mm height, this blank offers significant material for instruments with high neck projections or those requiring a specific bridge arch. The untreated maple allows for a natural, complex harmonic resonance that can be finely tuned during the carving process.

Custom Fitting Essential

This is a premium "blank" and is not ready for immediate use. It must be professionally carved to fit the unique top arch of your cello and thinned to achieve optimal acoustic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose a 94mm bridge over a 90mm?
A 94mm bridge is typically required for "oversized" cello patterns or older instruments where the internal bass bar is set wider than the modern standard. Your luthier can measure your instrument to determine if this wider stance is appropriate.

What are the benefits of an untreated bridge?
Untreated bridges provide a natural response. While "treated" bridges are hardened for brilliance, many players and luthiers prefer the natural aging of the Deluxe maple to provide a broader, warmer harmonic range.

Does this bridge come with string notches?
No. As a professional blank, the top is uncarved. This allows the luthier to set the string spacing and height exactly where your fingerboard and playing style require it.
