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

The Aubert À Mirecourt Luxe #18 Belgian is a premium bridge blank designed for cellists seeking enhanced projection and a more brilliant tonal response. Unlike the traditional French model, the Belgian pattern features longer legs and a higher "heart" position. Crafted from select, professionally treated French maple, this bridge is engineered to maximize the clarity and power of full-sized 4/4 cellos, making it a favorite for soloists and orchestral performers alike.

Angkor Music Luthier Insight

The Belgian Luxe #18 is often the go-to choice at Angkor Music when a cello needs more "life" or a faster response. Because the Belgian design is more open and taller (standing at 110mm in its blank form), it tends to produce a brighter, more focused sound compared to the warmer French style. The "Luxe" treatment hardens the maple fibers, which is essential for a Belgian bridge to ensure it remains structurally sound under string tension while delivering superior acoustic transparency.

Luthier Fitting Required

This is a professional-grade blank. To achieve optimal performance, it must be thinned, arched, and the feet precisely fitted to your cello by a qualified luthier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Belgian and French bridges?
Belgian bridges have longer legs and a more open design, which typically results in a brighter, more direct sound with increased projection. French bridges are generally warmer and more rounded.

Is the #18 model suitable for my cello?
The #18 Luxe is a professional-grade bridge. If you are looking for a significant tonal upgrade for a performance-level instrument, this is an excellent choice. The 90mm width is compatible with most standard 4/4 cellos.

Why is this blank taller than the French model?
The 110mm height allows for extra material to accommodate different instrument geometries, specifically those requiring a higher action or having a unique neck projection.
