I'm new to the banjo and loving learning. I have a Gold Star GF-85 that had the factory tailpiece on it and it just sounded flat or off to me... a total newbie. I bought a Kershner tailpiece and installed it. Did the set up on the action, bridge, etc based on several videos I watched and must say, it sounds GREAT! Totally different sound that before, much louder, sustain and harmonics are very good! I'm sure there may be some top of the line tailpiece out there but I'm extremely happy with the value and performance. Stew-Mac shipping was fast and efficient too!
