D'Addario KSAA Kaplan Ball-End Adapter - Pack Of 5

String compatibility issues shouldn't limit your tone. The D'Addario Kaplan KSAA Ball-End Adapter offers an elegant, reliable bridge for violinists and violists who want to play ball-end strings on tailpieces equipped with loop-end hook tuners.

Engineered with bowed-string players in mind, each adapter preserves optimal string path alignment into the tuner hook, avoiding unwanted twisting, binding, or early string fatigue. Its compact, low-profile silhouette stays subtle on the tailpiece, while the classic gold finish seamlessly complements traditional pegs, tailpieces, and fine-tuner hardware.
