I have two classics and one flamenco, and I wouldn't do anything to mess with the sound of any of them. They're fine as is.

But I have two travel guitars, both GO-GWs (CLICKY). In both, the soundhole is fairly small, and I doubt very seriously that the O-Port would fit. One of them is a wide neck nylon-string, and the other is a steel-string with a fairly standard narrow neck. Both of these GO-GWs sound amazingly good for such small sound boxes. The nylon-string is actually considerably louder than the steel string. I'm interested in giving the steel-string GO a shot of steroids, and I'm wondering if trading the issue bridge pins for a set of brass pins will make a difference.

I note that Elderly Instruments lists four sets of solid brass bridge pins (CLICKY), (Brass "Tone" Pins), one set for $8.95, the other three for $15.95, one featuring an abalone dot and the other two with different flavors of mother-of-pearl. I assume that the differences between all four are strictly cosmetic, so the solid brass for $8.95 really should do the job, n'est-ce pas?
