I am talking about the piece that attaches to the wire. I only know these 
pieces as round, not squarish. I must admit that I can´t remember details 
because that repair was 15 years ago. But the question of glue is a good 
one, because I can´t remember if it was really massive brass or brass with a 
wooden inlay. How to attach brass to wood? I think there was a wooden inlay, 
but my memory  is striking on that. You find these pieces at Jahn:

Item number 14.45.31, but there you can´t see the "bottom" side. It reads: 
massive brass for bass.
