Posture Pegs afford freedom of movement by eliminating the protruding peg heads. Tuning is accomplished by means of a removable key with grip. The peg shank is a blackwood blank, tapering from 14mm at the collar to 12.5 mm at the small end, 6.3 cm in length.  It must be shaped and fit by a luthier to the existing peg hole.  Set of 2 pegs includes two shanks and two keys.  *The steel sleeve is 2 cm long, so if you want to use these pegs in a fractional cello, make sure the peg diameter is thick enough so as not to interfere.

Replacement key for Posture Peg

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.  *Steel carbide may not be in stock

The 8mm NHM endpin is solid carbon fiber with heat-hardened steel tip, 20" long, can be purchased with the matching composite fitting which tightens with a collar rather than putting pressure of a screw tip against the rod.  Fittings are available in 27.5 and 25.5mm so you need to know the size the opening in your cello when placing your order.  Protective rubber cap for the extremely sharp tip is included and extras may be purchased.

Cube Acoustics endpin is made of a patent-pending special alloy.  Weight is ~ 250 g, length is ,23.5" and the tip can be resharpened.   The extra length allows for more rod resonating in the cello.  Of course this varies with height of cellist, body length 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, brass or silver polish. 

Endpin fitting is composite/stainless with thumb screw.  The bore is straight, and comes in three cone diameters so it's helpful to know what diameter hole is in your cello.  Small 23.5 mm , Medium 25.5 mm, Large 27.5 mm. Specify whether you need the hole for the endpin to accommodate 8mm or 10mm rods.

Medium 25.5 mm composite fitting with 24K gold plate collar, with 20" 10mm endpin with matching tip

The Cube Acoustics 10mm tuned alloy endpin weighs ~390g, is 23.5" long, and the tip can be resharpened.   The extra length allows for more rod resonating in the cello. Variations in height of cellist, body length of cello, yield different results in sound.  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, brass or silver polish.  (Pictured 10mm, 8mm)

The Memminger hollow titanium endpin has a five sets of 4 holes that spiral up and down the endpin every 90 degrees.  They are designed to filter or tune by rotating the rod to the best position for your cello.  Think of noise-canceling headphones, sound waves, blocking or allowing, and the concept may make more sense to you.  Length 23.5", weight ~ 92 grams. 

Endpin fitting is composite/stainless with thumb screw. Cone diameter only comes in 27.5mm to accommodate the angle of the hole for a 10mm rod.  This allows use of a straight rod,angled downward 6 degrees.  Not as severe as the Stahlhammer's 25 degrees.  Your cello sits more horizontal, f-holes facing more upward than outward, and also may make the pegs sit more comfortably in relation to your neck.   Price is for the fitting only.  You can use any 10mm rod, or purchase the NHM 10mm rod (listed separately).

Rubber tip with plastic liner specifically designed to fit all New Harmony endpins. It will not fit any other model endpin.  Package of 2

The Stahlhammer carbon fiber "bent" endpin consists of a fitting (27mm cone), and 2 telescoping rods.  Loosen the thumb screw and slide out the first rod which will rotate 25 degrees or lock in the straight position.  Then twist the collar to release the second rod and extend to playing length.  We stock medium  10.5 - 18.5" but can order the Short 9-14.5" Long 11.75-20.5".   *Note:  Do not overtighten or the internal nylon locking sleeve may split, requiring replacement.   Read the instructions on the box!!!! 

** Read to the end - new update.  If you have overtightened the telescoping rod so it no longer holds, you have split the interior tightening mechanism.  This is a nylon sleeve and is replaceable.  Unscrew the extension rod and remove, take the tightening lock off, and gently screw the new one on.  Do not overtighten when you adjust your endpin next time.  Just enough to hold.   ***If you read the instructions inside the box, specifically No. 8, it suggests you routinely remove the inner tube and apply a few drops of alcohol to the nylon sleeve.  Apparently nylon off-gases, and produces a film which may act as a lubricant.  So even if you have not put oil in the mechanism, you still need to clean this part.  According to Semmy Stahlhammer, the nylon piece is strong and should not need to be replaced IF PROPERLY MAINTAINED. 

Wittner composite tailpiece has integrated fine tuners and tail cord. Changing strings is easy because the parts you need to thread are on the front of the tailpiece.  An excellent replacement for old ebony tailpieces with add-on nickel fine tuners.  Tailpiece for 7/8 and 4/4 size cellos is 235mm.  Fractional sizes can be ordered.

The original  Frirsz cello tailpiece is made of alloy, is asymmetrical, and enhances projection, balance and response. Wolf tones are tremendously reduced if not eliminated. The cut-away design lightens the tailpiece and opens up the sound of the cello. This tailpiece also features modular integrated fine tuners that are interchangeable with traditional "keyhole" type of string attachment inserts, so it can be configured to your preferred set-up.  Please let us know if you want both the fine tuner modules and keyhole modules.

Sacconi style nylon tail cord for 4/4 and 7/8  cellos has brass threaded caps on either end for installation and adjustment

Adjustable bridges are not ideal for setting up a cello, but they can be a lifesaver in an emergency when there is no luthier or repair person close by.  These bridges are available in 4/4 and fractional sizes, but not a range of diameters.  They have pivoting feet since cello tops vary in curvature.  That means you will be able to set your cello up, but it is not likely the bridge will be optimal in relation to your sound post and bass bar.  They are available in low, medium and high so you can try to get a suitable height for playing.  Handy to have available at summer music camps or if you travel.
