Unique combination, Willie.
I think the guitar is slightly louder now.
There is a hole below the new tailpiece, but I will smear in some wood putty tomorrow (and go over it with a coloured pencil).
I am not able to play at the moment, I can just sit and watch it.
Looks awesome!
It's that vintage Di Mauro look that I wanted:
My rule of thumb is if you think it sounds different, well then it sounds different.
It sure looks fantastic.
The Killy Nonis taipiece is closer to the top than the Selmer style. The different angle is leading to more pressure on the brdge, producing more loudness:
Does the shape difference make the tailpiece resonate differently, i.e. more/less? I have some foam wedged under mine (traditional seller style) to mute the sympathetic vibration... It's a but unsightly but the sound bugs me a bit without it.
No sympathetic ringing, as dry as with the old tailpiece. The guitar is not only louder, but more sonorous too.
Killy wanted to hear how the guitar is sounding now; I sent him a short version of "Kali Sara". He liked it, so I dare to post it here - although I might not win the Dorado-Schmitt-Award. I recorded with the internal mics of my old Tascam DP 008.
Very nice indeed.
