Floating bridge replacement
Hey guys.
I have oud with floating bridge and wanna replace it.
The bridge has minor cracks and seems like it causes some strings buzzing.
The problem is I cant find ane floating bridges for sale with international shipping.
I already ordered blank ebony wood, to try to make bridge by myself.
But maybe you can tell me where I can buy ready-to-use floating bridges?

More questions about floating bridge.
I got my new bridge, which is made of rosewood.
Also I wanna experiment with ebony and now I try to make bridge of ebony.
I made it a bit longer and a bit thicker than rosewood one.
Tone is totally different - more low end, more boomy, more body, but less sparkling and not so much presence as rosewood bridge has.
So now I wanna bring ebony bridge tone closer to rosewood one. Add more crispeness and presence but without loosing much of a low end.
What should I try to do? Make it shorter or make it narrower?
