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.
ConCarbo carbon fiber tailpieces are new to Cellos2Go, and are just resting on a cello for these pictures! This is the French style, in twill which displays the CF weave. The model with no fine tuners (not pictured) is the least expensive ($135) and if you have Pegheds installed or use gut strings, this would be a good choice. The model with mini-lever fine tuners ($159) requires threading the top of the string through a hole in the back of the tailpiece, then up to the peg. The model with titanium fine tuners ($199) provides front access for string installation. For more information from the maker, visit their site here.
5/3/24 Back in stock!!! Cube Acoustics 8mm endpin is made of a patent-pending special alloy. Weight is ~ 246 g, length is 23.5″. The extra length allows for more rod resonating in the cello. Of course this varies with height of cellist, body length and contours of cello, so results should vary. As far as the tonal enhancements you will experience, you simply have to try it and gauge its performance for yourself. The endpin will tarnish over time and it can be left to a natural brown patina. If you want to polish it, recommended is 0000 steel wool, or brass/silver polish.
Les Bois d’Harmonie flexible braided cord increases mobility of tailpiece closer to the bridge so as not to diminish the natural resonance of the cello. It is the preferred tailcord for Harmonie tailpieces. Length ~ 16″
