WD Banjo Tailpiece: Clean, Crisp and Clear
A couple of days ago I purchased WD's "tailpiece for banjos" like they advertise it on their website. Honestly, I didn't expect that much. But once on my workbench, it proved a well-made replica of Waverly's famous old-style tailpiece from the 1920's – with adjustable string tension.
The front notches make string changing easy for ball-end strings, while loop-end strings are mounted at the back of the tailpiece. And, the tailpiece is suitable for 4- and 5-string banjo's. Unfortunately, the tailpiece is chrome plated. I would prefer nickel since most banjo parts are nickel plated. Mounting hardware (attachment bolt and nut) are not included. And, not (seperately) available from WD.
I take the opportunity to encourage WD to add a couple more (nickel) banjo parts like bracket hooks and hex nuts. But, please rush-add 1/2" and 5/8" 5-string banjo bridges!
As the tailpiece is chrome plated (and not nickel plated) and mounting hardware is not included, 4 stars from Texas & Tweed - Netherlands.
