Re: Overtone Grommets
Years ago when I bought my mandolin, I used double stick tape to attach piece of thick felt to the inside of the tailpiece cover, completely invisible when in place and, does not get lost when you break a string!
I tried the rubber grommets when I was testing a mandolin, I got them at an electronics supply place, they use them for gaskets when passing wire through metal radio cases. No idea what else they might be used for. It was a ham radio/cb radio place, I think I got ten of them for about a buck. Cool old style shop, no clue what most of the stuff in the place was but, for a radio guy I bet it would have been a dream shop. Old shop, there were parts in there that had not seen the light of day since 1947!
I love that kind of shop, never know what you might find.
