The owner of this viola had a nasty shock when her bridge fell over during a rehearsal! Luckily this is usually a fairly easy issue to rectify, however in this case it turned out that the bridge has suffered long-term warping, so although it could be stood up, it would be prone to fall again. The soundpost also fell over once string tension was removed, which is a good indication that a new, better fitting post was sorely needed along with a new bridge.
