Stahlhammer replacement tightener
** Read to the end – new update. If you have overtightened the telescoping rod so it no longer holds, you have split the interior tightening mechanism. This is a nylon sleeve and is replaceable. Unscrew the extension rod and remove, take the tightening lock off, and gently screw the new one on. Do not overtighten when you adjust your endpin next time. Just enough to hold. ***If you read the instructions inside the box, specifically No. 8, it suggests you routinely remove the inner tube and apply a few drops of alcohol to the nylon sleeve. Apparently nylon off-gases, and produces a film which may act as a lubricant. So even if you have not put oil in the mechanism, you still need to clean this part. According to Semmy Stahlhammer, the nylon piece is strong and should not need to be replaced IF PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

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.
