I prefer different height and spacing than is usually available. And so, I typically order custom bridges. With Tim Purcell, Gary Sosebee and Bart Veerman not building anymore, who is the go to person?
I am unable to find contact info for Silvio from Scorpion. Any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I would contact Mike Smith at Kat Eyz Banjo Bridges. I think he can custom make whatever you want.

I've been very happy with my compensated bridge, designed and made by BHO member Steve Davis, with string slots cut to fit my string gauges.
It's on my 1924 Vega Tub-a-phone pot with a calf-skin head and a maple Wildwood neck.
Highly recommended.

I use Silvio's bridges on several Bart Reiter banjos for clawhammer style.  They are fantastic!

This bridge is on my Bart Reiter bacophone-plus (one of my all-time favorite banjos)!
