Welcome

Marvin cable tailpieces are a totally new tailpiece
design for double basses that provide:

  • New buffer design looks more like a standard
    tailpiece
  • Greater Sound and sustain
  • Less mass/weight muting the vibration of the
    bridge
  • Single cable across the saddle does not stabilize
    the bridge allowing freer movement and
    vibration.
  • Greater elasticity of tailpiece allows freer bridge
    movement and vibration.
  • Faster bow response
  • The bridge comes to full vibration faster because
    tailpiece does not slow the response
  • Reduced wolf tones
  • Tailpiece buffering eliminates impact on wolf
    tones. Wolf tones emanating from the tailpiece
    or strings below the bridge are eliminated.
  • Softer feel when fingering
  • Additional elasticity of cables allow the strings to
    be deflected by the left hand with less force. The
    tension of the strings is not different , just the
    elasticity (ability to stretch).
