  • ConCarbo CF tailpiece with mini levers

    Another ConCarbo tailpiece option for cellists without Pegheds or other geared pegs is this “twill” French style model with mini levers.  The gallery photos show the back and side view of the tailpiece so you can appreciate how the string loads from the back for a clean look on the front, with less weight.  Since all our cellos have Pegheds, we don’t use this model here at the shop but can order it if it doesn’t happen to be in stock when you inquire.  Options for the tailpiece itself include black matte or shiny in addition to the “twill.”

  • Frirsz Alloy Tailpiece

    The original  Frirsz cello tailpiece is made of alloy and enhances projection, balance and response.  Wolf tones are tremendously reduced if not eliminated.  Asymmetry allows for a longer vibrating C string.  The cut-away design lightens the tailpiece and opens up the sound of the cello.   Integrated fine tuners are modular, removable, and interchangeable with traditional “keyhole” type of string attachment inserts, so it can be configured to your preferred set-up if you use gut strings or have PegHeds.  Please let us know if you want both the fine tuner modules and keyhole modules.

  • Composite Fitting for 8 mm endpin (NHM)

    This New Harmony Music endpin fitting is composite with stainless steel and can be used with your existing 8mm endpin, or you can purchase one of our options.   Keep in mind there are tolerances so a misfit (while rare) is possible.  You will need to know the diameter of the hole in your cello from the current fitting so you can choose either the Small 23.5 mm, Medium 25.5 mm, or Large 27.5 mm.   There is no angled bore option for an 8mm endpin.
