Double Bass Maple adjusters

[adarvas]

I'm looking to get maple adjusters for my bridge. Does anybody know who sells them? So far I haven't been able to find any. Thanks!

Arnold: Is there any advantage to using maple over ebony, aluminum...or lignum vitae, for bridge adjusters?

Maple has the lowest mass, and is the same material as the bridge. Some folks believe maple adjusters sound most like a solid bridge. I generally use one-piece aluminum adjusters, which sound good and are easier to install.
