Floating bridge

Hello,

Simple question here: How does a floating bridge make the playing experience different from a fixed bridge on an oud?

I often read about Iraqi ouds having a floating bridge where the string are attracted to the base of the body the and go over the floating bridge. Is the string tension tighter?
