Tenor String-Tie Tailpiece BridgeBeads Set for Classical or Flamenco Spanish Guitar, PEARL BONE WHITE Color Bridge Beads.

Very functional and easy mod for nylon string guitars. It really does increase the break angle over the saddle. This increases volume and clarity. The blocks also reduce, but do not eliminate the chance of string ends marring the finish behind the bridge.You need to be careful when you tie the strings, set the blocks, and trim the string end. I found that running the bridge string end through the front end of the bridge hole and then using the slack string to tie the block away from the guitar top prior to pulling up the slack and running the other end of the string through the tuner works well. Then you can tighten up the string and set the position of the block as the string tightens. I am able to set the blocks in an even and horizontal manner, hovering just above the sound board once everything is in place and tightened up.They look pretty good and are easy to tie, or loop through the block per the diagram that comes with the set of 6 blocks. I now have them on both of my medium grade classical guitars.

Great innovation that is useful and worth the cost. These ties greatly simplify and speed up the string changing process. They also look nice. I did not notice any change in the guitar's sound. These ties eliminate the difficulties in installing the bass strings plus I no longer need to melt the tips of the treble strings since they cannot slip when properly in the string tie. These string ties will help motivate me to change strings more often!I think these ties should also be a benefit to classical guitars that have a low saddle and very little break-over angle. In this case an improvement in sound may be realized.

They look beautiful on my uks and was easy to install

This IS a quality product and an improved idea compared to laborous, traditional string-tying over the bridge. A bit over-priced, but overall helpful and makes re-stringing easier and faster. Be careful not to leave any short ends of cut strings exposed that could scratch or cut under your forearm... I have rotated the beads to leave string cut ends less exposed and I am still analyzing to figure out a better system for concealing the (potentially sharp) string cut ends. I think I just about have it figured out (feed string back through one of the holes) and needs to be done BEFORE you cut off excess string and tune-up with tension on the strings. All said, seems to make a challenging tie-off process easier and I would repurchase.

These worked 100% of the time on all string sizes, easy to use, look cool.I have tried a cheaper version of these and the string slipped out during Tunning.Spend a little more and be happy the first time.

I installed these on one of my classical guitars with a cedar top and noticed a noticeable difference in the volume output and projection of the instrument. It was louder and projected better. These beads also help protect the bridge and surrounding area of th top from string scars.On the other hand, because it applies a stronger pulling force on the bridge because of the sharper string break angle, it should be used with caution on older instruments to avoid top deformation.

I trust these against breaking way more than my ability to tie. I put these on an instrument that ties off inside the body (not behind the bridge as pictured) and they work fine. I was wondering if they would come undone or loosen as I pull them up to the interior wall of the front board, but they do not.

Worked as it should. I was skeptical at first, but they are holding up just fine and keeping the strings in tune
