Allen Cast Tailpieces Sale Page!

B Grade Tailpieces These are tailpieces that didn't quite make the quality standards for one reason or another. Most are here because of very minor imperfections in the plating. We don't make these on purpose so they will always be limited to supply on hand. They will function the same as our 1rst quality tailpieces and we will offer the same lifetime warranty to the original purchaser (with the exception of plating of course). Who knows, maybe these will be the collector items like the coins with the missing date stamp.

Discounted Prices!! See Below!!

These are the finest cast mandolin tailpieces available,  and are a high quality addition to your instrument!!  Available in a variety of jewelry quality finishes to match your present hardware. Not only beautiful in design, they are also an important factor with regards to improving volume,  tone & sustain.  (See testimonials)

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.
