****** Bridge Pins for my 210E ******

[gamblemad]

I do not like these plastic bridge pins.  Any suggestions..... it is my understanding that there may be some difficulty or sizing issues with the 100 and 200 series.  I was thinking brass or bone, rather than wood.

Anyway, any advise would be nice.

Thanks,

Mark

Got these custom pins from Rob Mock @ Melodee Music in Sterling,VA.  He can do anything you'd like so give him a call.  He knows about all things Taylor.

I bought my bridge pins from Bob Colosi.

He is also very knowledgeable about Taylors and very helpful.  He will actually call you back when you leave a message.  What's this world coming to?

i don't care for the plastic pins either, just because they seem to
require more effort to seat & remove them than the ebony ones -
here are a few more links, which hopefully will be of some help

d'andrea brass tone pins

the added mass may "darken" the tone some (it did on a 310M) & when changing strings, i'd suggest placing
a relatively thick towel or cloth below the bridge, because if one of these happens to fall on the top, it'll leave a mark

a bit more definition & individual note clarity, which can be nice on a slightly softer top (engelmann, cedar, redwood)

planet waves boxwood pins - these kind of mimic the appearance of dyed bone pins
