I got this bridge from Arnold at Banjothon in January and forgot I had it!
Have recently put together a style RB-00 cut with a Clayton pyramid tone ring and I had a Snuffy on it and it sounded good but when I tried Arnold's bridge I was blown away by the extra note clarity and note separation that it produced.
I immediately ordered more of these bridges from him today!
They look very similar to the heart shaped prewar bridges you see on the old tenors and a few 5 strings.
So they have a prewar look to them as well as producing great tonal qualities.
I highly recommend them....you won't be disappointed.

I would like to say that I have owned most all the major D tuners at some time in the past but none performed as well as the Apollos do!
Even the most well know ones require tweaking regularly to be accurate.
The gentleman that invented these must be a very intelligent guy and he has done it right!
They are very well designed and well built and they work.just as you expect them to.....period!

I recently acquired the Bilt Rite Capo and I must say I was impressed!
I installed it on my Huber capo frame and using my Strobe clip on tuner and tuned banjo in G and proceeded to capo in A and B and it was right on the money in both positions.
The gentleman that created this put a lot of thought into it and it truly does eliminate the strings from going sharp since the design is to capo right over the frets.
If you are looking for a capo that will be very accurate then this is it!
