New product
The new Snuffy Smith pegged banjo bridge combines the original Snuffy Smith with the new technique of adding pegs for the best banjo bridge tone and sound.
Upgrading your banjo bridge is a great way to improve your banjo tone dramatically at a very low cost. The new innovation of adding pegs to the top of your banjo bridge is brilliant. Now you can combine this new innovation of inserting pegs into the top of the banjo bridge and the punchy banjo tone of the Snuffy Smith Bridges.
Snuffy Smith Pegged Top banjo bridges are sold EXCLUSIVELY at BanjoTeacher.com.
Pegged top bridges allow better string vibration for better banjo tone!
Allows string vibrations to pass through the bridge without penetrating a solid glue line at the topwood/framewood marriage.
Very small glue dots are used between (but not under) string slots.
Pegs reduce amount of glue used.
I highly recommend the Snuffy Smith Banjo Bridges. It made a significant improvement in tone on my banjo when I switched to these banjo bridges. A high quality maple banjo bridge will even make a less expensive student model banjo sound a lot better too. Adding or upgrading to a better banjo bridge on any banjo makes a lot of sense. It's a small investment with a big return. Your tone will improve dramatically.
Style 2 Banjo Bridges
One of the features that I liked about the Snuffy Smith bridges is the notched back G string innovation, the Style 2. The G string on a banjo is inherently sharp. It's a known fact that banjo players and designers have been trying to compensate for this inherent problem for many years. This slight notch on the third string sets the 3rd string back on the bridge ever so slightly without affecting the tone in anyway. Other attempts at compensating banjo bridges can kill the tone or make the bridge look warped. This is a fantastic innovation that is all you need to compensate the 3rd string without losing anything in performance or appearance.
These Bridges are money back guaranteed. If it does not fit or make your banjo sound better. You can return for a full refund.

B Willie May 11, 2023 4 (4/5) | Pegged Snuffy has always been a really good bridge. I found that the pegged bridge seems to tame the really bright notes a bit and produce more growl on the low end on my maple banjo. Not a drastic change but enough to notice when compared side by side to others I have used. This is not a bad thing. sits very well and solid. Beside just looking cool and a bit different it works. If you desire a bit more definition in your notes this may be for you. No regrets in this purchase. |

Ronald Ashworth Dec 4, 2022 5 (5/5) | amazing, made all the difference. Wanted to share. Have a banjo I just couldn't wake up. Tried many different bridges and nothing worked. Read up on your snuffysmith pegged bridge and ordered it. It was amazing, made all the difference. It is clearer and brighter and lots more volume. Thanks !!!!! Ronald Ashworth. |
