Default Bridge Pins

I bought my first classical guitar about 1 month ago a LaPatrie Presentation, laminated rosewood B&S with solid cedar top. I will be changing the stock strings in the near future and was wondering what type of bridge pins do most of you use. I assume the stock pins are plastic and, if they are, I am thinking of changing them when doing the strings. Suggestions please.

Sorry, but I'm puzzled by your question. The LaPatrie Presentation is a nylon string classical which has a tie block on the bridge, not bridge pins. Are you sure you referenced the right guitar in you post or are you referring to the saddle?

Dont be embarassed, it was just the lack of costume with classicals.

You may want to change your saddle for bone, if its not already, though. Some guitars benefit a lot from the change.

Default Saddle Material

The nut and saddle on all La Patrie guitars are tusq, according to the La Patrie website.

Default saddle

Hello .....New guy here... I have a La Patrie.....I picked up at a second hand store....
Anyways I replaced the saddle with a bone saddle and OMGosh.... It turned up the volume a lot .... I was amazed ..I even shaped and set the action and set intonation myself.
I'm an amateur with my guitar's ... still learning ... But for the 60$ I have into this guitar.. It's a beautiful piece... But nothing compared to my 3 other steel stringed beauties ! They all have bone saddles and from what I've read there better then tusq ..
