Tailpiece woes

    I have an A natural and the tailpiece has broken. Can someone tell me if Rigel is still going strong? Seems all their accessories on the site are out of stock.

    OK guys, I need that tailpiece! I just love the A natural (have an A+ also). I have gotten many many comments about the "vibe" of the natural. Pete should use that flat powdery finish and look on new instruments. It's very different, but kule.

    Help!

    The same thing happened on my A+O a few years back. No trauma or abuse - I just opened the case and found one pin broken off. That was back when to factory was going strong. I wrote and they sent a new one.

    Same problem for me--one end pin broke. It had been coming on; I could feel it every time I changed strings and then one day... I got in touch with Pete Langdell; he was helpful, and a lovely guy, and had a new tailpiece for me, but it was without the Rigel name engraved. Darn. Still, it's a small thing. I could have the engraving copied here by some craftsperson, but it's just not that big of a deal--for me anyway. Doesn't affect the sound, and my love for my Rigel A+ is unconditional. :-)
