For irregular and curved surfaces also. The abrasive particles are suspended in a silicon matrix strongly bound to a thin, highly flexible textile basis, so that no residual remain on the finished surface. Micro-Mesh can be used dry, with water, or with petroleum, and is very long-lasting under normal wear.</span></p>

<p>Grandi Liutai Italiani has always been a leading brand in the research and trade of rare Bosnian maple of the highest quality, and a part of the selected logs are perfect for the production of bridges. Collaborating with valid professionals and looking for innovative methods and designs we have created a line of bridges that follow the needs of the most qualified luthiers and restorers.</p> <p>The violin bridge “Ready to Use Model” has a design conceived to minimize the luthier's work to the acoustic adaptation on the instrument. Just adapt the feet to the arching of the top, adjust the thickness and the heights of the strings and the bridge will be ready!</p> <p></p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The counterform “La Stabile” is a classic of our production. Born over 20 years ago from an idea of ​​a Cremonese luthier, it was then redesigned and implemented over time following the many tips of the luthiers who use it.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The basic idea of ​​this simple design is to keep the top or back of the violin tightly in the stops, without damaging the profile. Starting from this concept we have created a mechanics that pushes on the edges diagonally, and not sideways (like all other counterforms in the market) where the grain of the wood is fragile.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Solid Finnish birch plywood and other simple but high-quality materials are ideal to ensure that this indispensable tool remains strong and stable over decades, especially for luthiers who use it daily.</span></span></span></p> <p></p> <p><iframe width="250" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IQOg7u6L0xc" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
