5.0 out of 5 stars VIOLIN TAILPIECE WITH FINE TUNERS, January 16, 2011

Produced from synthetic materials, this violin tailpiece with integral fine-tuners is a great adjunct to the aging Casperi pegs on my 1961 E.H.Roth violin. I installed it early summer 2010, and have used it with great pleasure since then. For all but the most discerning ebony purists, I highly recommend this excellent, light-weight, and reasonably-priced violin tailpiece with all four fine tuners built into it. This item is additionally furnished with a good-quality threaded nylon gut and two brass nuts. This testimonial is freely provided for the benefit of my fellow musicians.

I'd rate myself as an intermediate-level violinist. I started playing violin eighteen years ago, but I really only have about 3-4 years experience. I'm actually a professional audio technician, by trade. I acquired an older violin with a loop-E string adjustment and no other adjustment, besides the pegs. With the crazy temperature and humidity changes of the location that I live, it's difficult to moderate. With this purchase, I also got peg drops. I've never used them before, but I'm convinced within a day of ownership that these were good buys! I don't have to specify "Loop E" when I buy new strings.

Despite what others may say, I believe this is of good quality material, and looks good with the ebony scheme of parts on a violin. Just a tip, when installing, loosen your higher strings first and work down. You could put too much stress on a string and pop it! (Benefit from my mistake!!)

I'm VERY happy to be able to fine-tune all my strings now!

I purchased this tailpiece for a violin that I made. Being a beginning violin student it is a great help to have fine tuners on all strings. So far it seems to work well, stays in tune, etc.
