W.E. Hill has changed the packaging on their white swivel-up tube to a green tin with foil-wrapped peg paste. Designed to help if you have friction pegs that stick or slip. It is easy to use. Remove your peg, clean off whatever residue may be on it, and apply just in a thin band where the peg contacts the wood in the peg box. Reinsert the peg and rewind string. A longer-term solution is Pegheds geared pegs if you can make the investment
The Black Hole is a solid rubber disk that is concave on the bottom, tacky to the touch when clean, and sticks to most but not all (clean) floor surfaces. The cup for the tip is 5/8″ in diameter and 3/8″ deep which only matters if you keep a rubber tip over your sharp endpin tip. There is a hard plastic liner to protect sharp tips (like New Harmony’s) from piercing the rockstop. Remember to renew the tacky surface by a warm water wash when dirt and particles stuck to it prevent it from slipping.
Artino’s resonating chamber measures 6″ across the top, 7″ across the bottom, is 2.75″ wide, and 1.5″ thick. The webbed strap adjusts from 15-24″, connecting the box to the chair anchor. Effectiveness of the resonating chamber will vary with a room’s features and acoustic properties. Weight 9 oz

It is the most reliable for pitch and requires no battery. Weight 14.6 g, diameter 3.6 mm, length 116mm (4.25″) Plastic case included.
