What is a "saddle"?
A saddle is a component on stringed instruments, such as guitars, violins, basses, and cellos, where the strings rest and are supported. On violins and cellos, the saddle is a small piece of material, typically wood or plastic, located just under the tailpiece at the end of the instrument's body. On guitars and basses, the saddle is typically mounted on the bridge of the instrument and helps maintain the correct string height and spacing. The saddle plays a crucial role in transmitting the vibrations of the strings to the body of the instrument, influencing the overall tone and intonation. Proper adjustment of the saddle can affect the instrument's playability and sound quality.
