Product Description
Brittle-bronze, sometimes called by itsGerman name, "glocken-messing" (bell-bronze) is an extremelyhard and very dense alloy. Because of its composition, it is able toeffectively store any energy that is transmitted to it, which iswhy--for centuries--it has been used as a material for the manufactureof bells.A great deal of the energy that is generated by the striking orplucking of an acoustic guitar string is dissipated at the bridge andtherefore wasted. The more solidly-built electric guitar utilizes itsstring energy much more effeciently than the lightly-constructed bridgearea of even the finest acoustic guitar. However the John PearseKingPinsTM eliminate much of that energy loss, acting almost like smallenergy 'batteries' at the bridge-end of each string, allowing a moreefficient use of the string energy--and greatly improving both sustainand tone.
