Help.

I own a MK and have lost one of the rubber grommets that are below the bridge and above the tailpiece (between the string pairs).

Where can I find replacements?
1. None of the local music stores have them.
2. Ditto elderly
3. Ditto Stew-Mac
4. Ditto Home Depot/Lowes etc

Thanks,

Chris

Radio Shack, that's where I got mine. Come in a pack of varying sizes, 7 of them in the pack should be the right size.

I am using a Brekke Wood Nymph (no kidding!) that you can get from Sound To Earth (Weber mandolins)

It is a wood bridge with those rubber grommets on the bottom along with a strip of felt to stop string vibration.

All the grommets are together so you can't loose them. Also it is hidden under the hardwood and looks better.
