The Pisgah Hawk Tail is the perfect tailpiece upgrade for any banjo player looking for that classic old-time tone.  Reminiscent of tailpieces designed around the turn of the century, this tailpiece increases downward pressure on the bridge, recreating the look and tone of banjos produced during this golden age of banjo building.  The Hawk Tail brings to life the tone of any banjo, allowing responsiveness and playability while reducing overtones and preventing string buzz. The Pisgah Hawk Tail makes for a truly pleasurable playing experience for beginners and advanced players alike.

This was my second hawk tail from Pisgah, the first one coming in a very nice aged brass finish.
Unfortunately I had to return this one in plain brass due to poor surface finish and an inclusion in the metal. I was expecting a bright brass look to compliment the brass on my new Woodchuck banjo.
I was surprised by the rough look of the piece, not in keeping with usual Pisgah quality.

Nicely made and aged brass tailpiece. Adds a touch of authentic charm to my simply styled Roscoe.
Can't detect much of a difference in sound with steel strings but my ears aren't great. Pleased to have it though a touch pricey.
