Hi there,
Did a search and while there are others looking for tailpieces, I didn't see one that specifically address my questions.
I have a Flatiron Mandolin: Festival F (or maybe E)made by Flatiron Madonlin and Banjo Co (which I believe was bought by Gibson). It's a performer series purchased in the 80's and the tailpiece is tearing (the metal itself). I would love to get a replacement that's original but not sure where to find one and thought I would try here. If no original is to be found, is there one that would let me use the my original cover piece with the new tailpiece hardware (I might not be using the terms correctly here...sorry)?
Also, if I do get one, it's it pretty easy to swap them out myself or should I spend the extra $ and have someone do it?
I've attached a couple photos:
