Silk and Steel Loop Ends?

Bones

Are loop end silk and steel strings available? I don't see any when I filter for this on the store site.

Thanks

No, all the silk and steels (from any brand) are ball end.

Hi Michael,

Can you recommend a replacement tailpiece that is drilled for ball ends?

Thanks

MichaelHorowitz

Nearly all Gypsy tailpieces are drilled. The DRs we have are great.

Are these Asian made DR's well made?

Thanks

Yes, they are used on all the Dell Arte guitars, even the high end ones. The Duponts are even stronger (never had one break) but the Asian DR hold up well. Some have broke, but it's not common.

Great, thanks for the info. That's what I was wondering about since I've had one of the ultra cheapos break on me before.
