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

Our newest endpins are made by Cube Acoustics of a patent-pending special alloy, available in 8mm (~ 250 g) and 10mm (~390g).  Length is 23.5" and the tip can be resharpened.   As far as the tonal enhancements you will experience, you simply have to try it and gauge its performance for yourself.  Cellists' reports vary, but improved resonance, clearer articulation, more focused sound have been reported.   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.   Price on 8mm  $400,   10mm  $425.   To find out which size you need, if you lack calipers to measure diameter, measure around the circumference of the rod.  If it measures 1", you have an 8mm rod.  If it's 1 1/4", your rod is 10mm.

This 8mm specialty endpin is cast from precisely tuned bell alloy.   Length 20.5 inches, weight 204 grams.   This is a one-for-one replacement for your existing 8mm endpin.  There is no cone, or fitting, sold with this endpin.

The 8mm NHM endpin 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.  If you prefer a removable/replaceable steel carbide tip instead of the heat-hardened, add $5.00 to price.

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.

Tailpiece for 7/8 and 4/4 size cellos is 235mm. For 1/2 - 3/4 cellos, 21cm in length.  For 1/4 and 1/8 size cellos, 16.8cm in length.  Specify size when placing order.

Wittner string adjusters, also called fine tuners, can be purchased individually and installed on most wood tailpieces.  These are black metal and allow for microadjustments in tuning after you have gotten near the pitch by tuning at the peg.  To install, just remove the screw, place the metal bracket so the screw sleeve protrudes from the back of "keyhole" of the tailpiece and comes out the front.  The top with the prongs should be above the top of the tailpiece.  Thread the screw back into the sleeve.  Place the ball end of the string between the prongs.
