Aubert À Mirecourt Luxe Cello Bridge #18 – 90mm ‘French’ Style

The Aubert À Mirecourt Luxe #18 is a high-performance bridge blank crafted in France for the discerning cellist. Situated just below the 'Deluxe' in the Aubert hierarchy, the Luxe series provides exceptional tonal clarity and structural integrity. This 90mm French pattern bridge is "treated," utilizing Aubert's time-honored seasoning techniques to harden the maple, ensuring that your instrument projects with a vibrant, sophisticated voice.

Angkor Music Luthier Insight

The Luxe #18 is the gold standard for high-level student and semi-professional cello upgrades at Angkor Music. The French pattern is characterized by its lower 'heart' and elegant, wider legs, which historically favors a warm, rich, and rounded tonal palette. Because this bridge is professionally treated, it offers a faster response than standard untreated blanks. The 90mm width provides a stable stance for full-size (4/4) cellos, allowing for a precise setup that maximizes the resonance of the top plate.

Setup Information

This is a premium bridge blank. It must be custom-fitted, carved, and thinned by a qualified luthier to ensure the feet fit your cello's arching and the heights match your playing preference.
