The Stelling Pivot-Pin Tailpiece is generally held in place only by the tension of the strings- however, the tension band has two small indentations that two screws in the tailpiece sit in for increased stability. Those indentations are visible in this photograph. The tension band's primary job is to create and maintain tension on the banjo head. Stelling Banjo Works, Ltd is located in Heards, Virginia and is owned and operated by Geoff Stelling.
