    New Harmony Rubber Tip

    Rubber tip with plastic liner specifically designed to fit New Harmony heat-hardened steel endpin tips.   The diameter of the hole is about 9 mm, so it stretches to fit securely over either the 10 mm diameter rod, or the 8mm rod because it reaches over the collar which is 9.5 mm.   Package of 2.  See photos for a clearer understanding of why it might not fit on your non-NHM endpin.

    8 mm Solid Carbon Fiber Endpin NHM

    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.  *Add $10 for the model with a steel carbide tip

  • 10 mm Cube Acoustics endpin

    10 mm Cube Acoustics endpin

    The Cube Acoustics 10mm tuned alloy endpin weighs ~386g, is 23.5″ long.   The extra length allows for more rod resonating in the cello. Variations in height of cellist, body length and contours 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 from brass tone over time and it can be left to a natural brown patina.

    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).
