Angled Fitting for 10mm Endpin (NHM)

$70.50

Endpin fitting is composite/stainless with thumb screw. Cone diameter only comes in 27.5mm to accommodate the angle of the hole for a 10mm rod.  This allows use of a straight rod,angled downward 6 degrees.  Not as severe as the Stahlhammer’s 25 degrees.  Your cello sits more horizontal, f-holes facing more upward, and also may make the pegs sit more comfortably in relation to your neck.   Price is for the fitting only.  You can use any 10mm rod, or purchase the NHM 10mm rod (listed separately).

  • 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

    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.

  • Pegheds (offered here only in our cellos)

    PegHeds are the original geared pegs, and are made in Winnsboro, SC by Chuck Herin.  Once installed, all you need is a thumb and index finger to tune and the peg stays put.  When humid summer weather causes friction pegs to swell and stick, or dry winter air causes shrinking and slippage, Pegheds  will hold firmly.  Prices vary with wood variety and style.  Pegs must be ordered to fit your specific cello, or you may be able to have your own pegs retrofit in some instances.  Nearly every cello here has Pegheds installed, and we highly recommend them.  If you are wishing you could use a Posture Peg, please note the stubby C peg available, which is pictured in the product gallery.  We no longer sell sets of PegHeds here, but do have them installed in cellos we sell.  We love to promote and explain them.  Go to PegHeds official website to order.
