The most important role of the cello bridge is to transmit the vibrations from strings to the top plate.
At the same time, contrary, the vibrations of top plate are transmitted back to strings. These slow-motion videos show an another role: The bridge resolves the potential strain between the strings and the cello body by twisting itself and by taking a beat.

チェロの駒は弦の振動を表板に伝える役割を持っています。しかし同時に胴体の振動を弦にも伝えることになります。これらビデオは、駒自身がゆがみながら弦と胴体間の位置歪を解決する別の姿を持っていることを見せてくれます。
