Great replica! Sounds as expected and is really well build.
The pest Clamshell on the marked for sure.

Great service and speedy turnaround time. Really happy with the delivery speed. I did have some issues anchoring the tailpiece to my banjo. Not sure if it's the fact that it's top tension or not. Once I decided to let it be loose until I put a string on, it held in place nicely and was easy to adjust. My banjo sounds good as before, maybe even better since the old tailpiece was likely dying a slow death until it blew up!

i had to file the burrs off the metal. The tailpiece had sharp ends which caught on fabric and scratched my leather couch.Poor finishing work I had to carefully file after installing.Tedious work on a vintage banjo.Otherwise appears to be high quality.

No problem on the order and tailpiece is exactly what I thought it would be. Prucha has a great reputation on all products. This tailpiece fit the bill, high quality, well made, fit perfectly, strong metal. It deserves a five star rating.

This is not a cheap tail piece. Dry sturdy. SOLID!! Easy to attach. Strong top spring. It is not going to vibrate or buzz. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service from Stewmac. Arrived in UK in 2 days from order thus justifying the very expensive postage.
The item, ordered in polished brass, was to provide parts for a damaged Grover Clamshell tailpiece on an Epiphone Bandmaster from about 1927. Amazingly, all parts were inter-changeable and the quality of the Prucha product is just brilliant - I cannot speak highly enough of the tailpiece and of Stewmac who provide an outstanding service, albeit at considerable cost.

The Prucha Presto tailpiece on my old-time is to low for the Paramount arch pot so I hope the clamshell tailpiece is a little bit higher for the strings to get over the "hump" with a little bit more clearance. In any case I know Prucha makes top quality tailpieces.

I love the look of the old Grover Clamshells.... really Art Deco... the problem was the newer versions were / are awful. Not the Prucha version. Extremely well built, just like the old Grovers and not to be confused with cheap imitations.

A really great classic tailpiece. Highly recommended !
