This is a Fiddlerman link demonstrating how to resurrect a fallen bridge. It would also be good to watch for tuning, especially if installing  new strings, even though you just do one string at a time, and the bridge is still standing upright, as far as turning the pegs, and reminder about fine tuners.

Wow, restoring a broken violin bridge is a delicate but important skill! I think handling it gently and making sure it is perfectly aligned is key to getting the best tuning.

Trust yourself that you can do it and get it. tap road

A fallen bridge isn't a broken bridge.

Ooh, I didn't catch the "broken". I need a bigger catchers mitt.
