Fults F-Series mount
The F Series mount has been the mainstay of the Fults line for a few years, and continues to offer the combination of rock solid stability and adjustability that is only found in the Fults line of banjo tailpieces. The F series tailpiece is mounted to the 2 “tailpiece brackets” at the desired height and rigidly locked in place. The head of the tailpiece can be raised or lowered using the center tilt knob, and locked in place at the desired height with the tilt knob’s set screw. The F series mount is inherently more stable than other (non-Fults) tailpieces and less prone to “tuning issues”. Re-tuning several strings won't affect the tuning of the other strings as the tailpiece can't rock from side to side. The F series mount is compatible with any of the 8 available Fults tailpiece heads.

Fults XYZ-Series mount
The new Fults XYZ Series mount shares the rock-solid stability of the Fults F-Series tailpiece mount. When combined with a Fults banjo tailpiece head, the XYZ mount gives the banjoist the most adjustable tailpiece on the market. Like the F-Series Fults tailpiece mount, it will accommodate any of the 8 available Fults tailpiece heads, allowing a wide range of tone possibilities.
The XYZ mount can be raised or lowered in exactly the same way as the Fults F-series mount. In addition, it can be shifted from side to side (to compensate for banjo necks that may be aligned a bit off center), and towards or away from the bridge (to change resonance) by the use of spacers, and then locked rigidly in place at the desired position.
This adjustability (in 3 perpendicular directions) is what gave the tailpiece its name and what sets it apart from all other tailpieces made to date.
The XYZ mount is available in Plated Brass or Steel with 5 sizes to fit different bracket hook spacing.

Details on the Fults 3-Axis XYZ adjustable mount
The new Fults XYZ banjo tailpiece mounting system (which shares the rock solid stability of the other Fults tailpiece mount) is the most adjustable and versatile on the market. As with the Fults F series mount, it will accommodate any of the 8 Fults tailpiece heads allowing a wide range of tone possibilities.
The main feature of the XYZ mount is its ability to be independently
adjusted in 3 directions (perpendicular to each other)
[ X ] Left or right (a great feature for string alignment).
[ Y ] Forward or back (to achieve deeper or shallower tones).
[ Z ] Up or down plus tilt angle (for greater or less bridge pressure) in the same way as the Fults “F” mount.
The installation procedure takes just a few minutes.
1) Install the draw-bar on each of the back two bracket hooks.
2) All 4 spacers must to be used (two on each draw-bar) as options A, B, C.
A) One spacer in front of the mount one spacer in back.
B) Two spacers in front of the mount no spacers in back.
C) No spacers in front of the mount two spacers in back.
When the desired position is achieved, the banjo tailpiece is locked in place by the two draw-bars and the center tilt knob, providing exceptional stability. Re-tuning several strings won't affect the tuning of the other strings as the tailpiece can't rock from side to side.
When combined with the 1934 or 34Parallel model tailpiece head, a true Presto sound can be achieved, and when a Cumberland or Blue Ridge head is used, a "cleaner" sound with less overtones can be attained.
The XYZ mount is available in Plated Brass or Steel with 5 widths to fit different bracket hook spacing.
Measure "outside-to-outside" on the two standard 5/32” back bracket hooks to determine size below.
Please Note: (Top Tension banjos use a special draw-bar for the XYZ mount, please call).
