Re: Upgrading a tailpiece
I would change a tailpiece only for ease of use or if the original broke. I'll go on a limb and say aside from a placebo effect on you, no one else will notice a sonic difference. On you existing mandolin, the easiest way to change/improve/hinder tone to YOUR ear is having a good set up, vary strings and pick materials and most of all improve your technique. The latter being key. Better tuners may help if your existing ones are slipping and you cannot adjust them.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946
