bridge (music)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

bridge

In music, a support for the strings of an instrument that determines its length and transmits vibration to the body. In violins, lutes, guitars, and other instruments the bridge is fixed, but in the Indian tambura (long lute) and Japanese koto (zither), bridges are movable to change the tuning. The monochord of music theory also has a movable bridge.
