Bridge pins : Faux tortoise?
Furch Faux tortoise? Felt and looked like polished acrylic with abalone-like dots. Of course I'm wondering if I should change them out or just leave them alone. They look ok, but I'm used to seeing dark wood with abalone dots there.
What ever happened to our local bridge pin expert? I haven't seen any postings from V---- in a while. I forget the member's forum name.

'Vindibona1' .. I enjoyed reading his bridge pin observations too.
Hope he's OK.

I was only thinking about Vindibona1 yesterday, and wondering what has happened to him - he was an interesting guy and, although I didn’t always agree with him, I had a couple of very friendly and absorbing PM conversations with him. I hope he’s OK.
And sorry, but I can’t offer anything useful in response to the OP’s question..

Ahhh...must be a Furch Yellow. You'll get more sustain, snap and string separation from bone pins. I suspect more warmth from ebony pins. The difference is subtle but definitely noticeable. I just replaced my Furch's stock Tusq saddle with bone to follow the bone pins I added. It added yet a bit more as described above. Have fun experimenting. LMI bone pins are a nice no-frill option. 3 degree slotted for the Furch.
