Replacement tuner button

[dwc]

I chipped one of the pearl tuner buttons on the Waverly tuners on my Ellis. I see that stew mac offers ebony and ivvoroid buttons, but I didn't see pearl. Do they exist?

Stew Mac does offer sets of tuners with pearl buttons. I don't why they would not sell just the buttons...

Waverly tuners come with an extra button. Did you buy the mandolin from Tom? Regardless, it might be worth a call to the dealer you bought it from or to Ellis Mandolins directly.

eBay has several listings for mother of pearl tuner buttons, sold individually and as sets of 8. They are for square shaft tuner buttons held on by an end screw. They may not be the same as used by your Waverly tuners.

This. When I bought my Ellis, it came with an extra tuner button in the case pocket, as well as extra O-rings for the James tailpiece. If you don't have that extra button any more, it might be worth contacting Ellis Mandolins and seeing if they have a spare that they could send you. Even if they don't, I'll bet they could point you in the right direction for getting one.
