The Allen AR-2 mandolin tailpiece was designed to be used as a retrofit on your existing instrument as a replacement. (works with Ball end or Loop end strings) 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.
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" (Gibson Sam Bush model)

I just put this tailpiece on my Giacometti j5 and it is wonderful. I bought it two years ago and play it all the time so it’s well broken in but there was something that I just couldn’t get and this piece brought it to life and gave it wonderful sustain and fullness. The original tailpiece has a floppy joint in it and though it tightens under strings I started thinking energy was being lost and this proves it was. I’ve gotten several of your tailpieces and have always been happy. Now I’m really happy. Thanks, John

Customer Comments:

Randy,    Good news… the tailpiece fit my “The Loar” A-400 with no modification whatsoever. It looks great, feels great under my arm, and sounds great. Thanks, Casey


Thought you'd want to know I got great results by installing one of your AR-2 tailpieces and some D'Addario J-81 strings on my Trinity College Irish bouzouki. It went from quiet and dull to loud and bright. If anyone wants the hot set-up, this is it. Thanks again for your good advice on this upgrade. I'm absolutely satisfied. Jonathan ................

 

My new AR2 arrived today and what a difference it makes on my 1986 Duff F5! Bare in mind that this mando was close to being sold because it was going dead. After a hard life on the road with the previous owner who played with the Amazing Rythm Aces and Sawyer Brown, it had seen its best days and pretty much gone flat. Your new tailpiece has given it new life with a substantial increase in volume, pop, and sustain. It's like getting a new mandolin. I thank you and also my wife thanks you for keeping a few thousand bucks in our pockets!! Tony.........

Tailpiece Finish Examples

"As far as mandolin parts go, this is one of the best mandolin part upgrades available!"

Safety First! This is a little bit of fun from the video:
