Made in the USA by Pisgah Banjo Company, this iconic bridge is modeled after Pete Seeger’s uniquely styled banjo bridge. It is designed to create more volume and “plunk” without increasing sustain or overtones. It will also never tip over! Choose from 1/2″, 5/8″, 11/16″, and 3/4″ height, all with standard 1-11/16″ string spacing. This bridge is designed to evenly distribute string pressure to all 4 feet. Bridge is 3-D printed from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer derived from sugar cane and will eventually biodegrade in 200-300 years. Original bridges were made out of plastic circuit board material! Add some style, tone and options to your banjo arsenal!

The banjo becomes more responsive, creating clarity and providing a warm, professional sound, without harsh overtones. The use of a continuous leg also prevents the bridge from sagging over time. The “hole layout” design allows the sound to easily travel from the string to the head by removing excess material, making this bridge delicate in appearance, yet strong in tone and design. All bridges feature a Walnut body with a Persimmon tone cap and are finished using a non-toxic, food safe Walnut oil. Mulheron bridges are made exclusively for Pisgah Banjo Co & Balsam Banjo Works by master bridge craftsman Lindsey Liden of Mulheron Banjos.
Now available in limited quantities: Crowe-spaced Mulheron bridges! The Crowe spacing adds 1/16th of an inch to the “standard” string spacing. This spacing is great for old-time or clawhammer styles. It allows the player to have easier access between strings, which can help with drop thumb, the bum diddy, and overall control. In addition, Crowe spacing also adds a slightly wider spacing to the fretted hand, which can make it easier to find individual notes, play hammer ons, pull-offs, slides, and helps with cramping. Enjoy the ease and comfort this bridge allows while still getting the warm and plunky, full tone.
