Reminiscent of tailpieces designed around the turn of the century, it increases downward pressure on the bridge, recreating the look and tone of banjos from the instrument's golden age. The Hawk Tail brings to life the tone of any banjo, allowing responsiveness and playability while reducing overtones and preventing string buzz. Easy to install; instructions are included. Made in the USA. Similar to the Fielding tailpiece, but slightly larger and more affordable. Heavy cast brass. For 5-string banjo.
