Hello, I have an old Despiau bridge made C (one tree), which once warped, and I straightened it using a clothes iron (I saw a luthier do this with a wooden bridge). However, I was wondering if there’s any kind of heat treatment or similar method I could use to make my bridge more resilient. I thought about straightening it again with the iron and then quickly placing it in the freezer. Perhaps rapid cooling could help it stay in a firmer position. What do you think about this? I will eventually replace the bridge, but I need to raise my fingerboard as it’s currently too low. By the way, do you think it’s a good idea for a beginner (whose "teacher" is the internet) to attempt raising the fingerboard themselves, or should I go to a professional luthier?
