Pisgah “Pete Seeger Style” Banjo Bridge
Made in the USA by Pisgah Banjo Company, this iconic bridge is modeled after Pete Seeger’s uniquely styled banjo bridge.

Original bridges were made out of plastic circuit board material! Add some style, tone and options to your banjo arsenal! Sound clip is from a banjo with a wooden tone ring, skin head, 12″ rim, and medium gauge strings. 3D Design credited to Kyle VanMeter and Steven Arms.

The Mulheron “continuous leg” of this hand-made bridge creates a stable platform that in turn transfers the tone evenly and consistently throughout the entire banjo. 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 drum head by removing excess material, making this bridge delicate in appearance, yet strong in both tone and design. All bridges feature a Walnut body with a Persimmon tone cap and are finished using non-toxic, food safe Walnut oil. Mulheron bridges are made exclusively for Pisgah Banjo Co & Balsam Banjo Works by master 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.
