I was wondering where one might find unbleached bone nuts, saddles and bridge pins for a reasonable price. I've got a fair amount of buffalo bone (white) for nuts+saddles, but I like the patina, and I'd like to get some bone bridge pins to match. Unslotted would be preferred, too. I believe I've seen Walter Lipton/Euhponon mentioned, and I'm sure they used to have an online catalog, but for the life of me, I'm having zero luck finding it. Any help? |

Chrislin Tradins has unbleached bone. Might give Christie a shout to see if she has pins as well. I know she has blanks. |

Russ: I kinda meant other than the usual suspects, who seem a slight bit on the pricey side ;-) Paul: thanks, I'll shoot her an email! |

Walter sent me a couple he got from Taiwan via eBay. They were very hard and high quality. Much denser and harder than the ones I have got from other "sources". I think he said they were Buffalo Bone. |

I'm just looking around for alternatives for those times the combo dictates a more vintage-y feel and look. |
