French style tailpiece made from high-quality ebony, 235 mm long with integrated composite fine tuners. Kevlar tail cord is available but not included because not everyone chooses this option.
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.
New Harmony’s 8mm carbon fiber endpin is 20″ long, weighs ~ 42 grams with a rubber cap that weighs 6 grams. It is a one-for-one replacement for most solid metal endpins. If you don’t have calipers to measure diameter of your existing endpin, measure around the circumference of the rod. If it’s 1″, the diameter is 8mm. The tip is heat-hardened steel that can be sharpened, though it maintains its original point for a long time. Some players report some flex compared to solid metal rods, but this varies with player movement (emoting) as well as how close you are to full extension. *Add $10 for the model with a steel carbide tip
New Harmony Music’s woven carbon fiber endpin is 10mm diameter with hollow center, 24″ long, extremely sharp heat-hardened steel tip which can be resharpened. The CF weave is visible for a distinctive look, and it’s light at ~43g. If you don’t have calipers to measure the diameter, you can measure around the circumference. If it’s 1.25″ you have a 10mm endpin. Each endpin is sold with a plastic-lined rubber cap. Replacement caps may be purchased separately. 20″ long endpin can be ordered, $72.00
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.
