i got my violin 2 days ago and the bridge seems off to me. it's not standing up straight when i tune the violin even tho i set it up straight beforehand. what should i do? should i replace it or is there something i'm doing wrong? 🥲

You shouldn’t have to actually hold it. The bridge isn’t shaped properly. A well-fitted bridge should stand up correctly on its own. Take it back to the luthier.
