I have used the Snuffy bridge through the years on various banjo's and have one on three banjo's now. Although I never met Snuffy he made a BIG impact on the banjo world. I wonder if anyone will carry on with the SS Bridges - of course too early for the family to do anything now but deal with this huge loss! my prayers are with them. The bridges indeed great.

My ESS Gibson came with one. It sounds great to me, so I see no reason to change.

I have three in my possession.  They are on both of my flatheads, and I have a spare.

I guess it is time to post this picture again.

i have used snuffys bridges off and on since i can remember. i have several here now.
he saw something in that design that the violin makers of the old country saw too.

I have used may of Snuffy's bridges, strings, and a few heads over the years. Good stuff. I love the message on his string packages, "Earl Scruggs has never used these strings (that I know of)." I currently have several on my banjos and some spares in the drawer. 

RIP Snuffy!

Been using them since '93. They've made my banjos sound like I want them to.

My Gibson came with one and now I use a III. Have tried many different bridges and like his the best.

Got one my ..."Gibson-Wanna-Be"............

I do and have since he started building them......

I have two.

I've used many builders' bridges but I always seem to come back to my favorite Snuffy bridge.

Got a Snuffy/Craig on my TB-11. Love it, wouldn't use anything else!

Danny, I have used Snuffy's bridges for years. Both my Pyramid and my Gibson copy have Snuffy bridges on them now.

I've got a Snuffy on my Gibson

I have one on my rb-250.  Sounds great.

Right now I have 6 of them in use on 6 banjos. One is marked Jan. 1990, back when that was the only banjo I had. No sag in it!

Me on my Sunflower.

I have at least 10

I've got one on all three of my banjos. I've tried others, but always went back to Snuffy.

I use one on my OME Columbine.

I have a total of four, but use Gary Sosebee on my ESS. I used the Snuffy on my Deering Golden Era until I sold it.

I use one on my banjo & I love it. I got to meet Snuffy Smith while I was
Standing in line for the banjo competition @ the Galax Fiddlers Convention
last year. He came right up to me & asked what kind of bridge I was using
& I had no idea who he was because I bought the bridge from John Boulding.
So I showed him my bridge & he said "oh that's one of mine, thank you for
Using it!"

I have used them for more than 30 years....there is a Snuffy bridge on every banjo I own.   There is none better - the bridge or the man.  I will miss him greatly.

 Hey Danny....

I use Snuffy's bridges on several of my banjos as well and bought them in qtys from Snuffy personally to use in my shop and put them on customer's banjos when needed.

He made a good bridge, and yes he will be missed greatly!
