Junked Harp parts for CBG tailpieces

Posted by Uncle John on December 18, 2013 at 8:11pm

I was throwing out some crappy old harps when I realized that the covers could make cool tail pieces (string fasteners).My plan is to mount one horizontally on the butt end of the box using the holes that are already there. Not the strongest metal, so just peak the top over the box edge with pre-drilled string holes.

Thanks, guys. And then I got into cutting tail pieces out of sheet metal and have not done the harp part thing.

Great idea John!

That's another great idea. Might block and brace with the scraps of cigar box wedge inserts that usually get tossed.

and a nut out of the comb, don't ever throw anything away!

the brass reed plates would make a good tailpiece too.

Yep, cool. I have a few I've saved but not used yet. Might work as a bridge too depending on the neck angle?
