Tailpieces

The tailpiece hold-up is over at last. Here are the first to arrive, two each of mandolin (still to have pins fitted), cittern (also octave mandolin and bouzouki) and guitar.

The guitar tailpieces are made up of the anchor plate (attached to the tail of the guitar) and the string plate hooking onto the anchor plate.

Spring weather

This was the view from my office window at around 7am
