Boston cello stand is aluminum, black, with rubber feet and soft padded arms to support the cello under the bottom ribs. This is an updated version of the original stand, and the cello sits closer to the ground. *If your endpin/fitting sticks out more than 7 cm ( 2.75″) the tip will hit the floor. The cello is supported by a single pad that rests against the lower back, and the arms you see in the front are angled away from the face of the cello so as not to leave any marks. The endpin must be stowed in cello. Stand folds flat for transport/storage and locks into place when open. Weight 3 lbs.
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
These packets are for 49% relative humidity, size 70. Cellos, due to their size, require 4 packets to properly manage humidity in your case, which should be kept closed. As long as you already have the soft pouch from your starter kit, you just need one set of 4 to keep your Boveda going for another 2-6 months. Life of the product varies because conditions vary. Contents of packet are natural salts and pure water. When your existing packets have gotten rigid — and you should note an increase in the size — it’s time to replace them. Packets in their sealed plastic have a shelf life of two years. A short video https://bovedainc.com/question/when-do-i-replace-my-instruments-boveda/
