Akusticus Tailpiece

Akusticus Tailpiece

$52.00

Akusticus plastic tailpiece,  220 mm in length, has integrated fine tuners and a wire tail loop.  This is a popular choice for fine instruments as it can help enhance volume and tone.  Weight ~ 81.8g.  There are replacement parts for this tailpiece so if you break a fine tuner, don’t throw the tailpiece away!  I’m not saying the parts will be in stock here, but they should be able to be ordered.

    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

    Stringvision Posture Pegs

    Posture Pegs from Stringvision afford freedom of movement by eliminating the protruding peg heads. Tuning is accomplished by means of a removable key with grip. The peg shank is a blackwood blank, tapering from 14mm at the collar to 12.5 mm at the small end, 6.3 cm in length.  It must be shaped and fit by a luthier to the existing peg hole.  Set of 2 pegs includes two shanks and two keys.  *The steel sleeve is 2 cm long, so if you want to use these pegs in a fractional cello, make sure the peg diameter is thick enough so as not to interfere.

  • 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.
