Despiau Planet Cello Bridge, C8 French, A-grade

Description

Despiau Chevalets has worked out how to respect and preserve forest resources for future generations whilst maintaining a supply of top-quality bridges for luthiers. These bridges are called Despiau Planet, great for music, great for forests!
For several decades Pierre-Jean Despiau has been going to the forests of Bosnia-Herzegovina, sourcing maples needed to make bridges. However, journey after journey he has seen them become rare. We are talking about trees which are several hundred years old. They have grown in such a particular environment and climate that they yield an exceptional capacity to transmit sound; sound in all its original purity, wealth, power and color. It is easy to understand just how precious the maples are and realise that this resource is depleting.
We cannot keep on wasting wood with such rare qualities. Despiau Chevalets has decided to radically improve their selection criteria. Why? Out of respect for the forest, which gives us its trees, and to supply luthiers what they need for instruments entrusted to them. From now on, they will take however long they need to retain trees of exceptional quality that visual analysis didn’t retain.
An undertaking which requires intense scrutiny and stringency. From this endeavour they have obtained Desp
iau Planet bridges with excellent acoustic qualities. They are Despiau 3-Tree bridges with extra soul. The same soul that protects our forests.
