  • 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 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.

  • Self-Adjusting Bridge – Aubert

    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.

  • 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 tarnishfrom brass tone 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.  If your current fitting does not fit a 10mm rod, we offer New Harmony Music fittings in both straight bore and 6-degree angle.
