Source For Tailpiece Studs/Posts?

jcaznap1218

I'm prototyping some new tailpiece designs. Currently I just have the strings feeding through holes in the metal, but I'd rather have the posts/studs that are found on all the typical Selmer style tailpieces. The problem I'm running into is that I have no idea where to get them, or even if it's possible at all to purchase them separately from the tailpiece.

Worst case scenario, I'll have to get the made from a fabrication company or something similar. But if anyone happens to know where I could buy some outright, I would definitely appreciate it.

I would like to know where to get them as well. When I changed the strings on my Mod M The other day, the low E is too fat to get through the post hole:-/

guess it’s going to be loop ends for the low E
