"I wanted to tell you that I thought your website
testimonials were cherry picked sales hype. But, I wanted to
try the tailpiece anyway. I bought a gold TR3 and installed
it on a good, handmade mandolin. Am I glad I
did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found the testimonials on
your site are like what Festus used to say on Gunsmoke, “No
brag; just fact.” I have 30% - 50% more volume, splendid
sustain and the clarity is outstanding. I will never go
back. This tailpiece is a home run. Regards, Bob A"
"I am delighted with the tailpiece I have fitted it to a carved top
mandolin made by Oakwood instruments of Leeds U.K. .The sustain
and depth of tone have really improved since I fitted it .
It has improved the instrument a lot more than I expected it to
have done. Thank you.
The reason for my email is that I would now like to fit a TR3 to
a 1929 Gibson model A0 I have .and also I should like a TR10 to
fit a 10 string Mandola I have. Both of which would be Nickel."
Jesse Brock plays mandolins fitted
with Allen Cast tailpieces, TR-1, TR-3 and AR-2.
He called recently and said "they made a huge difference on
his mandolin, better volume and sustain, more open tone"

TR-3 "Hey Randy. I just wanted to drop you a line
and let you know that Jesse Brock just had your tailpiece installed.
My god what a difference!!! It enhanced both the tone and volume
of what was already an awesome instrument. I just played it last
weekend, and I'm blown away. I'm sure you'll be hearing from
him. Thanks. Mike Cleveland"
