Re: Re: eyelets

Metal eyelets are cheaper and can be bought right off the shelf. That’s why the lower priced instruments have them. I have to agree with Saul on this one. A bright metallic edge to the sound is not my idea of a desirable tone. The metal eyelets have a very thin wall and I have known them to split, leaving sharp edges which can cut the string.
