Ken Smith Saddles circa 1992 vs eg. 2014
I saw some Ken Smith saddles in the past, and if I remember correctly, the string basically rested in the 2 co-linear grooves, but the narrow groove I assume goes towards the nut? But I might be wrong altogether. Do the saddles today get made the same way? What I really mean to say not "made" the same way, but has the design of the saddle changed in this respect since back then.

Well, I was really just thinking about the strings resting on the brass saddle. Some actually have a steel pin which is at the string node I'd guess it's called. I saw about a year ago on American Idol a guy playing a Fodera and that has a steel pin I think. I don't know if that is significant enough to alter the sound to allow for all types of music. Is your's designed around a specific genre of music? Does this account for resting on the brass instead? Did you see him playing that when Nicki Minaj was a co-hostess?

Sure, why not? You press down metal strings on metal frets so why not anchor the strings on brass at both ends. If you want all wood, get a violin or double bass or cello. Don't get a viola!
