Spruce top, the body and neck are carved from a single block of maple. Picture of current bridge - the crown shaped one just sounded bad:

Sound sample: Vielle - arch bridge

More photos (with old bridge):

Wow! That’s seems pretty intense and like an arduous process. How long have you been doing this for?

Im glad that you like it! Well, this was my first instrument ever - if you don't count the 3d printed rebec. This was all learning-by-doing, and with mistakes (I had to redo the top once, and the bridge two times) and experimentation this definitely took me 100+ hours.
