Golden Gate P-115 No-Knot Style Banjo Tailpiece - Nickel

Ball end strings are my preferred method of stringing. It's convenient because I have a lot of guitar picks on hand. However, I recently purchased a new Irish tenor four-string guitar, which featured this exact tailpiece with only four string loop holders. So I came across this one that looks identical but has five stars. The string's ball ends go between those, and this one with five loop end holders is ideal because it has four spaces for the ball ends. The spacing is ideal for four strings.

There are many different versions of the classic "No-Hassle" song. There are a lot of "Knot" tailpieces out there, and some are better than others at capturing the details. This one, distributed by Saga, is the most common, but it's also the most basic, with sharp edges, too narrow slots, and posts that aren't quite staked in straight to the bracket. The plating is thick to hide the parts' roughness. It's reasonably priced at around $12, but if you look around, you can find really well-made versions for around $20.

This was purchased to replace a banjo mandolin's 8 hook tailpiece. That one was no longer usable due to a missing hook. This No Knot looks great and fits perfectly on the banjo mando. It has five posts, so I put each of the lowest G strings on the first two and doubled up strings on the rest. Actual banjo mandolin tailpieces are nearly impossible to come by, unless you want to pay a lot of money for vintage ones. This will suffice as long as you aren't too concerned with historical accuracy.

I spent the entire evening trying to figure out how to get this thing to work. I wanted to use nylgut strings instead of nylon. With the smaller strings, there was no problem- They're relatively simple to put on- When you try to join the fourth and third strings, you run into trouble. These are simply too thick to pass through the tailpiece's posts. Finally, I gave up and reverted to my old tailpiece- The nylgut strings were jury-rigged by me. I'll just have to wait and see if it continues to work once I raise the tension on them. The tailpiece is solidly constructed. However, a little more space between the posts, as well as a wider slot for the third and fourth strings, would greatly improve the situation.

These are the imported tailpieces, which work fine. If you're using nylon strings, take an hour or so to smooth out all of the sharp edges; even if you use a bowline knot to wrap around the tailpiece, the sharp edges will still cut the string and cause it to snap. These are good bridges once the edges are removed. IF you get a good pair of Nylguts as well (which is a different story).

This tail piece is well-made, attractive, and reasonably priced; however, the slots in the pins are too shallow to accommodate strings with a bead at the end. To string it, I made loops in the strings and wrapped them around the pins. This tailpiece works well on a new banjo ukulele that I bought. I updated the site with a photo of this installation. br> ADDENUM: After catching my wrist on the string ends a few times, I decided to use a hacksaw blade to deepen the grooves and string the beads. This was an excellent solution. It also looks a lot nicer (cleaner) than the pin loops. This would be a perfect little tailpiece if Golden Gate could just make the pin grooves about 1/16" deeper. Because the nickel plating in the grooves was removed when the grooves were made deeper, mine will most likely rust over time.

time, and a nice and simple tailpiece for the old-fashioned. It's actually quite a bit smaller than I expected, but it's still much easier to change the strings than the tailpiece that came on my banjo; I don't play bluegrass, so that's fine; it's probably not great for a bluegrass banjo, but I don't play bluegrass, so that's fine; it's actually quite a bit smaller than I expected, but it's still much easier to change the strings than the tailpiece that came on my banjo; It has a nice warm, mellow tone to it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys playing old-school video games. Music for the time being.

The slots aren't as deep as those found on other uke "no knot" bridges, but they'll do the job without the need to use a hacksaw blade to make them deeper. br>However, you fat third string (dogs) will NOT fit in the slot unless you use a thin screwdriver to pry it apart slightly. When you're finished, it looks EXACTLY like a vintagebr>No Knot - Everything, including the date stamp. I'm playing it on my Gold Tone Banjolele, and it's really nice.
