Heartland String Bass Shop UltraStealth tailpieces for bass and cello are Trademarked and we're happy to announce that we've been issued a second patent. Along with the original Patent (Patent Number 11,501,743), we were recently issued Patent Number 11,741,921. As such, HSBS is obligated to pursue legal action against anyone infringing on HSBS intellectual property. If anyone visiting our site sees products that could potentially infringe upon these rights, please contact us. Thank you!
