I just want to give a shout out to Keith Newell for his tailpieces. He posted 3 in the classifieds a while back (with $$ donated to the Café). I was too late to get one of those but he made one customized for me with a diamond like the inlay in my headstock. This tailpiece is awesome!! It looks great (in my opinion) and functions great. I wish there was a gold plated option for my other mandolin but that isn’t available right now.
I know there is debate as to whether a tailpiece change/upgrade affects the sound, but I swear my mandolin sounds better now. I am aware that it may likely just my perception and excitement. Anyway Mr. Newell makes a great solid tailpiece and I would suggest anyone needing or wanting an upgrade to consider one. I have no benefit in posting this other than showing off Mr. Newell's work.
