Fixed vs floating bridge

Omar Al-Mufti - 12-3-2016 at 03:28 PM

Dear members
Two ouds...having exactly the same strings length (say 58.5 cm bridge to nut), same strings and same tuning...one oud is with a fixed bridge...the other is with floating bridge. Shall the floating bridge strings have higher strings tension because they are longer,due to the strings portion beyond the bridge???
