TR - Series Allen Traditional Design I have been asked by
many over the years for a traditional looking tailpiece in one of our one
piece solid cast designs. We introduced the first TR model in 2001. We
have several variations based on our original TR design. |

TR-3 "Hey Randy. I just wanted to drop you a line
and let you know that Jesse 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"

our latest in tailpiece designs by Randy Allen. Based on the
Allen TR-1 it is slightly
heavier and a bit more rigid. Incorporates our Teardrop peg
design and has a matte interior. The screw holes will line up with the hole
pattern made by the standard stamped tailpiece. The end pin will
still fit the old location with out any modification.

| "Received the
tail piece Wednesday. Installation was a breeze. Played a
gig Friday night. Guess what? No more scratches on my arm!
The tone seems a little beefier. I think the "sweet spot"
has moved a little closer to the bridge. All in all a cool
addition to my mando." Regards Ernie See more comments from

mandolin tailpiece was designed to be used on new
instruments but can work well as a replacement. Screw holes
don't line up with stamped model tailpieces and have to be re-located.

difficult)

| "The tailpiece seems to have given my D 60 a more lively
action. I *really* liked that. It had an improved response
over the entire range, but especially in the Bass. I would
not hesitate to say that I found a definite improvement in
my guitar after installing Randy's new tailpiece. "
Gary Chansler

"Just short note about the RS-2 tailpiece I
recently bought. Wow, what a difference it made on my reso,
it really opened that guitar up! A marked increase in
volume, richness of tone and sustain...and it looks very
spiffy cool too! You did a great job on it, everyone should
have one, that's my honest opinion" Ron Bendnar.
