How to replace violin tailpiece?
I bought an electric violin, several reviewers stated they upgraded the tailpiece, so I bought it with my eyes open. I'm very comfortable changing strings and bridges, but this is my first tailpiece and I am a little nervous. Anything I absolutely need to know?
I do all my own work on my violins, I play for pleasure and buy inexpensive instruments so I won't cry too hard if I do something wrong, still, I really like this one.

Nothing special, run the gut string that comes with the new tailpiece, around the endpin. A good trick to do is that, once you tie a know, light a match or candle and heat the know lightly so it melts a little. That 's it. That way, the know won't get untied nor loose.
Nothing special.
