Tailpiece

An archtop features a tailpiece where the strings will be attached to. The guitars which stand model for my guitar have a rather unusual design and are not of the shelf available. I will try to build one of my own (with a lot of help of my father who is quite good in small metal work since he builds miniature steam machines as a hobby). I made a drawing of the tailpiece which you see below next to its example:


























I will fabricate it most likely out of brass or copper. I like copper the most because of its color but I am afraid that it is not hard enough. So it will probably be brass.
