Vintage style tail-pieces

These tailpieces will suit all the floating bridge family of instruments, from the mandolin to the bouzouki. When choosing a tailpiece, the key factors for me are the style of the mandolin and personal preference. However, there is animated discussion in some circles about the effects of different tails on the sounds of the mandolin. Some wish to opt for heavier tails that transfer more of the string vibration to the body of the instrument; others for lighter ones, bowing to the old Italian masters, whose tailpieces were often minimal. Your choice!

Perhaps my ears are not what they once werte, but changing the tail seems to me to alter the sound not one bit.
