William Lewis & Son (Chicago) – Rare ¾ Uncut Double Bass Bridge

This is an extremely rare, collectible ¾ double bass bridge from William Lewis & Son of Chicago, a renowned importer of fine string instruments beginning around 1922. Known for sourcing the finest, naturally seasoned European tonewoods, their bridges and instruments were crafted with exceptional skill and precision.

This particular bridge is a true heirloom-quality piece:

  • Uncut and never used
  • Well-seasoned aged maple
  • Circa 1960–1970s
  • Made in Germany
  • Marked with “WLS” carved into the heart and kidneys

Because of its age, condition, and rarity, this bridge is best suited for a master-built double bass or for a collector who appreciates historical craftsmanship. It may very well be the only surviving uncut William Lewis & Son ¾ bass bridge from this era.
