Delrin Plastic Nut And Bridge Stock, Black

I am learning how to cut and shape nuts and saddles in my engineering maintenance course. So I purchased some and tried it out and it works fine. So I showed my neighbor how to cut and shape a nut for his kit ukulele. He did a great job for knowing nothing. He was just a little hesitant in sawing and sanding. But this material is so inexpensive that you can afford to make your own.

I purchased an older dulcimer that was missing its nut. The existing slot for the nut was narrower than the standard 1/8” Derlin nuts that Folkcraft offers, so I bought the Bridge and Nut Stock and sanded it down to the thickness I needed. It took a while to do, but it was easy to work with and worth the effort. So, actually, making the nut didn’t make me nuts!

The Delrin nut and bridge material works very well. It's hard enough that the strings don't cut into it, and easy to work with.

Dimensions are consistent from order to order. Good tonal properties.
