This message was received on 29 April 2023, and as it is a comment, we have no means of replying directly to Vince. The last contact from Sully to the BIB was in 2017, when he gave the e-mail address and phone numbers shown above. We understand Vince's preference for a Sully bridge for his Sully banjo, but there are excellent Australian luthiers who should be able to supply a good bridge.
