Locks Down Your Banjo Strings:
With this new "String-Lock" System, you never have to worry about your banjo strings coming loose from the tailpiece. This tailpiece offers 5 individual allen screws that tighten from the top down. These screws are threaded from the top and bottom of the tailpiece...the screws mount your banjo strings by passing through the loop ends to ensure that the string ends remain in place. No more having your strings come out of your tailpiece as you attempt to string up your banjo. Once the string is locked down, you can string up your banjo at the tuning machines without the loop end falling out. Additionally, the loop end is held tight behind a cylindrical post as opposed to a sharp tang as found on most common banjo tailpieces. This ensures that the loop end stays round and does not crease; the tangs on most banjo tailpieces will crease and bend the loop end. The "String-Lock" system requires a .050 Allen Wrench which is included with the purchase of the tailpiece. Again, this is a "lock down" system...hence, you cannot change a string without the .050 Allen Wrench.

Easy to Install and Use:
Installs on most all banjos with standard mounting screw and bolt (included). All 5 strings can be individually removed or installed. Offers a top access for Allen Screws that individually lock down each string's loop end. When installing your strings, you may install one string at a time or all 5 without having to string them at the machine heads until all 5 are installed. Installs with original mounting parts that come with your banjo's current tailpiece. Includes a full instruction sheet for easy step-by-step installation along with a companion .050 Allen wrench.
We offer our Mystic West 5-String Banjo Tailpiece in a variety of 3 different colors.
1. The Polished Brass (Shiny Gold)...this is a standard look for a gold hardware instrument. If you have gold-plated hardware, this look will go well with all the other metal parts of your banjo. For this is a shiny gold appearance even though it's solid brass without any plating. The biggest advantage with polished brass is that you never have to worry about your plating wearing off and having a discolored look. Standard gold plating almost always eventually wears showing patches of dullness with shininess. Our Polished Brass will eliminate this problem for as long as you own your banjo. And, if you ever do have any tarnishing, it can easily be polished again and look brand new...whereas, gold plating would require re-plating.
2. The Nickel-Plated Brass (Shiny Silver)...this is a standard look for a nickel hardware instrument. Our nickel plating is solidly plated at a very high grade. We guarantee our plating to last you a lifetime and always show well on your banjo for a lifetime (with a full 100% replacement warranty).
3. The Chrome-Plated Brass (Shiny Silver)...this is a standard look for a nickel or chrome hardware instrument. Our chrome plating is solidly plated at a very high grade. We guarantee our plating to last you a lifetime and always show well on your banjo for a lifetime (with a full 100% replacement warranty).
