Official Luthiers Forum!

I plan to buy some slotted ebony bridge pins w/abalone dot from Gurian. They have a minimum order. I have to order them by the gross so no mixing of different styles. Anyone want to go in with me? I'm looking for folks who will buy at least 36 pins. I will charge my cost, plus actual shipping to you. You will get random chosen pins, in other words, I won't cherry pick them and send you what I don't want. Please reply soon because I need some pins soon .GeraldSheppard39006.5769675926

Are these the ones with the smaller head like what LMI sells, or the ones with the bigger head like what StewMac sells?

Only badly."

Also what degree are Gurian pins? 5* or 3*?

Gurian pins are 3* no matter what anyone else tells you. I got this information from Michael himself as even the people in his office aren't sure.
Gerald you might also look at Chrislin Trading as they have ebony pins. Not exactly sure what you are in need of.

AND, if you really don't want to buy the $200 minimum I have some ebony pins without dots but have dots you can add. The dots are in MOP or Paua Abalone. I have an order coming from Gurian soon so could also probably get some pre-dotted pins added!

John, I didn't get the email. Sorry. Did you send it to gdshepp@earthlink.net?

Thanks for input Paul. Don, these are like LMI sells.

These are about 65 cents each before shipping. That's a lot less than other sources I've found.

I would be interested Gerald in 36 pins.

How do you want payment?

Anyone who want's to join in please send me an email. I don't get on here much. I'll probably order them on friday. I won't know the total costs until I actually get the order and divvy up the shipping. At that time I'll ask you to send me a check.

Thanks for your interest!

Gerald, are the pins also available as unslotted? If so I would take 72 pins.
