Step 9: Notes on bridge and nut and string height  I prefer the
strings to be quite close to the fingerboard so that its
effortless to press the correct notes. Accordingly, I cut the
bridge at a height which would bring the strings close, but not
too close to the fingerboard.  I say this again, the fingerboard
angle is not 100% standardized, so you may compensate for any
mistakes made in fingerboard angle by cutting the bridge
differently. This is acceptable in an electric violin, because
the sound created is less dependent on the body than in acoustic
violins.  The nut is another point where I broke out in sweat.
If you study another violin or look at pictures of violin nuts
(there's one on the previous step), you can see that the grooves
are cut so that the string just sits in it. The contact between
string and groove should be very smooth (hint: use the graphite
of any pencil to aid smoothness) . Ideally the nut should hold
the strings very close to, but not quite touching the
fingerboard.  About string sp
