Re: Fixing a bent tailpiece
It may be that the G side of your bridge is taller than the E side, making the tailpiece higher on that side. It can easily be bent, but if this is what is occurring it will go back to where it is. Have you measured your string height above the 12th fret on both the E & G? Usually the G is a little taller, but not much. Not enough to change the tailpiece. If the G is considerably taller this could be your problem and lowering the saddle will help and make it play easier.
If you have to bend it, I put the tailpiece end, that screws to the mandolin, in a vise (wooden faces) to where the bend is on the tailpiece, and bend the top to where I want it to go.
THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE JUST FOR YOUR SMILE!
