Here's a testimonial:
"Just wanted you to know I received my Samson bridge last Friday. Beautiful! It's like a little work of art. I immediately put it on my Tranjo. I felt the tone was immediately improved, much more even across the registers, mellower but with no loss of projection. I'm thinking of getting one of these bridges for my other banjo." James A, Tranjo #10
