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).
