Richard and Denise Wilson dulcimer - needs a bridge

Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions

I have a nice Richard and Denise Wilson dulcimer that's been sitting unplayed for years because its bridge has been long since lost. It's a simple floating bridge. Is a replacement available or does it have to be hand made? If I need to make it, can anyone give advice on shape, material, etc? Thanks for any helpful information.
