Re: Tailpiece broke
Going one better, the "trapeze" tailpiece on the Eastman mandocello I used to own, broke at the hinge. Eastman took one of their new, redesigned tailpieces off an instrument in stock in the US, and sent it to me; they were willing to wait for a new tailpiece to be sent from China to reassemble the in-stock 'cello.
Good customer service from Eastman, as a rule.
