Hi,
do you know where I can get an original Stelling banjo bridge?
I put an ad up, but no one responded, so do you know where else I could ask? Stelling no longer makes bridges - I've been looking into that...
Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions.
I have one that I would gift you if someone could tell me what the postage would be. I am 75 years old and going to a Post Office to get it on its way would be a major pain. If someone, perhaps a vendor on the HO that ships overseas, could tell me the postage, I would gift the bridge, packaging, and shipping charges to help a fellow picker out. It is compensated and 16mm in height. No clue as to weight. If someone can give me the postal charges, and no paperwork is needed, chime in and I will get it moving your away as soon as I secure the packaging, etc. Also will need complete posting address but let's take one step at a time.

Hello,
really? You have a Stelling bridge? That's perfect, I'm just sorry that it's compensated... but maybe it won't matter... we'll see.
I'm happy to accept your offer Boby!
I've already bought two banjos and some spare parts for the banjo from you in the USA and I already know what it takes to send a package from the USA to Europe. It's not complicated at all... I have excellent experience with Fedex... you wouldn't have to go anywhere, the postman would come directly to your house for the package - I'll arrange it - I'll submit a request.
But before that - could I ask you for a photo? If you don't have a mobile phone, I hope you can do something, or if you could ask someone in the family... Thank you very much!!
And please, how much would you like for the bridge? Of course, I'll pay the postage...

Compensated won't be a problem, I would say. The intonation of the 3rd string might be a bit better than usual.

There is no charge for the bridge. Again, I just need to find a way to get it to you with the least amount of trouble. I work and my wife has had both knees replaced with surgery this year so I hate to ask her. Not sure why regular post office wouldn't work but if you can arrange FedEx pickup and they provide the packaging plus the charges that is okay as well. I was thinking I could just put the bridge in a padded envelope and mail it to you with US postage stamps affixed in whatever number it would take. In any event, let me know and perhaps someone else will kick in with added info for me to see if we can pull this off and how best to do so. I will try to get a picture up on my homepage if I can. However all you will see is a bridge with the Stelling Logo stamped on it. Maple with ebony top, with compensation and 5/8ths inches, or whatever 16mm pans out to be.

Go to my homepage and look at my pictures area for a photo of the bridge.

Thank you very much! I saw the photo...I will arrange for it to be picked up from you by a Fedex courier...
You will only have to wrap the bridge in a regular envelope measuring about 20 cm x 10 cm, no larger...(I would pay that much). Please insert the bridge between two brackets so that it does not break. The letter can be up to 4 cm high, but no more...
Can I order a pick-up for tomorrow, or until Monday, November 18? Or later?
Please write to me your address, phone number and e-mail - I have to enter all of this in the order.
And most importantly, the Fedex postman will want a printed order label, which I will send you by e-mail, or you can find it on my website if you do not have an e-mail. You will not pay anything, you just hand the letter to the postman.
If you find another way, please let me know...
Thank you very much again.
