Composite Fitting for 10mm Endpin (NHM)
This New Harmony Music endpin fitting is composite with stainless steel and can be used with your existing 10 mm endpin, or you can purchase one of our options. Keep in mind there are tolerances so a misfit (while rare) is possible. You will need to know the diameter of the hole in your cello from the current fitting so you can choose either the Small 23.5 mm, Medium 25.5 mm, or Large 27.5 mm. This is a traditional straight bore hole. The 6-degree angled model is listed separately.

ConCarbo CF tailpiece with mini levers
Another ConCarbo tailpiece option for cellists without Pegheds or other geared pegs is this “twill” French style model with mini levers. The gallery photos show the back and side view of the tailpiece so you can appreciate how the string loads from the back for a clean look on the front, with less weight. Since all our cellos have Pegheds, we don’t use this model here at the shop but do have it for sale. The other styles of tailpiece besides French twill can be ordered with these fine tuners, we just don’t have them in stock at this time.

ConCarbo CF tailpiece with titanium adjusters
If you don’t have Pegheds or other geared pegs, you will likely want a tailpiece with fine tuners. ConCarbo makes two varieties, and each style is manufactured specifically for the type of tuner arms. These are titanium hook style, and they are the easiest when changing strings because of their accessibility. The tailpiece is made of carbon fiber in “twill” which shows the CF weave, and this French style is 235 mm in length. The gallery shows side and back images with just the C arm and string. While the tuning arms can be removed, the hardware for the tension adjusters is permanent.

ConCarbo French Style Twill
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.

ConCarbo Harp style
This Harp style is pictured in the Unidirectional CF and does not have fine tuners. If you have Pegheds or other geared pegs, you don’t need additional tuners. For regular friction pegs, you can order this model with Titanium or mini-lever fine tuners which are pictured on the ConCarbo French style entry on the site, and are priced differently. These tailpieces are new here, and we don’t have all their options sitting here. This model is also available in the Twill or Painted. These items can be seen on the maker’s site for now.

ConCarbo Harp Style Twill
This Harp style is pictured in glossy twill carbon fiber and does not have fine tuners. It is also available in black paint finish.
You can order fine tuners on this tailpiece, but they are not an add-on after purchase. They are specifically drilled for the Titanium hook style ($70 for set of 4), or the black mini-lever style ($35 for the set of 4).

TekPin Conservatory CF endpin
The newest model of the TekPin is the Conservatory, and has all the features of the Professional but with a black plastic fitting instead of the elegant hardwood. View the video by the maker to see if this endpin may be what you’ve been hoping for to reduce back pain, improve mobility as you play, and ultimately enhance tone. The carbon fiber rod has a strong carbide tip which will work on cement floors without dulling. You should have a luthier do the installation, and FYI the adjustable fitting cone is 27mm at the large end and 23.2 on the small end. The Conservatory is also available with a stainless steel endpin $500.

Other options are available. Please view the maker’s video here

Stringvision Posture Pegs
Posture Pegs from Stringvision 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.

Pegheds (offered here only in our cellos)
PegHeds are the original geared pegs, and are made in Winnsboro, SC by Chuck Herin. Once installed, all you need is a thumb and index finger to tune and the peg stays put. When humid summer weather causes friction pegs to swell and stick, or dry winter air causes shrinking and slippage, Pegheds will hold firmly. Prices vary with wood variety and style. Pegs must be ordered to fit your specific cello, or you may be able to have your own pegs retrofit in some instances. Nearly every cello here has Pegheds installed, and we highly recommend them. If you are wishing you could use a Posture Peg, please note the stubby C peg available, which is pictured in the product gallery. We no longer sell sets of PegHeds here, but do have them installed in cellos we sell. We love to promote and explain them. Go to PegHeds official website to order.
