The bridge is the structure that rests on the main body of the instrument and holds the strings up; it is crescent-shaped at the top (traditional fiddlers might make theirs flatter?) and stands on two legs. Playing the bow close to the bridge gets a thinner, scratchier sound (mostly treble, little bass, as it were). The Italian term for this is "sul ponticello". Hope this helps!

What is the difference between viola and violin bridge?
The bridge of a violin does the same thing as the bridges of most other stringed instruments, including the piano, guitar, uke, bass, harpsicord, crwd, etc. It raises the strings from the soundboard or resonating chamber, and it also transfers the vibrating energy of the string to the soundboard or resonating chamber. In the case of bowed instruments like the violin, it also places the strings along an arc (the upper edge of the bridge) so that they are not co-planar. If they were co-planar, you could never get the bow to make one string resonate while leaving the others untouched.
