I was thinking about Irv’s idea roasting to antique a bridge. Then got to think about how one might dye a bridge color like pink green or purple . This would accessorize violin like dying hair. Violinists traditional but in school might set trend.
I’d like to get incredibow — http://www.incredibow.com/about/ — in fun color and make bridge to match.

another violin accessory ripe for color treatment is the chin rest, which may be purchased in maple and boxwood. A spray of lacquer may be needed to prevent color transfer to skin. I have also seen maple fingerboard,
