    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.

    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 can order it if it doesn’t happen to be in stock when you inquire.  Options for the tailpiece itself include black matte or shiny in addition to the “twill.”    We can special order this for you.

    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.  In stock in matte black
