These excellent sounding bridges are hand made by Mike Smith from hard rock maple recovered from the bottom of Lake Superior and surrounding rivers. The acoustic properties of this wood are excellent and are now starting to be understood by Luthiers and instrument makers worldwide. The age of the wood is from approximately 300 to 1200 years old! It is possible that the wood in some of these bridges was a living tree when Christopher Columbus landed on our eastern shores in 1492! I think that\'s a great piece of history.
