Bell-bronze is an extremely hard and very dense alloy.
Because of its composition it effectively stores any energy that is transmitted
to it which is why it has been used for centuries as a material for the
manufacture of bells.
A great deal of the energy that is generated by the
striking or plucking of an acoustic guitar string is dissipated at the bridge
and therefore wasted. KingPins eliminate much of that energy loss, acting
almost like small energy 'batteries' at the bridge end of each string, allowing
a more efficient use of the string energy thus greatly improving both sustain
and tone!
A guitar with good tonal balance, string to string, would probably
open up considerably by the replacement of all six original plastic or wooden
pins with John Pearse KingPins.
The bridge pin and end pin set will be shipped without the plastic and wooded box displayed in the photos.
