Tailpiece for bowlback

[Moon]

Hello again, I just posted about the inlay. This mandolin wasn't advertised very honestly, the seller failed to mention the slight twist in the neck, the slight crack on the face and the seven hook tailpiece. As you see, the last e string is hooked to a screw, as the last hook is missing. I haven't found a tailpiece quite like this one. My boyfriend can probably solder a small hook on it, but since the mandolin is hardly investment quality, I don't want to spend too much or put too much into it.

Anyone know where I could find a similar one?

You can check eBay or you can get one of these.

Or since most bowlbacks only had 4-string posts on their tailpieces anyway, you could just put both e-strings on the same hook.

Doubling up E strings (or any of the others so each E (the most likely to break) is on a separate hook.

then again,
Artisan Made Investment cast bronze , then have it nickel plated to Look right, is always a Possibility.

Just because it is not Already made, does not mean It Cannot be Made.. kind of like Music..
