** 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.
Wittner composite tailpiece has integrated fine tuners and comes with a tail cord. Changing strings is easy because the parts you need to thread are on the front of the tailpiece. An excellent replacement for old ebony tailpieces with bulky add-on fine tuners. Tailpiece for 7/8 and 4/4 size cellos is 235 mm in length. Fractional sizes can be ordered.
The original Frirsz cello tailpiece is made of alloy and enhances projection, balance and response. Wolf tones are tremendously reduced if not eliminated. Asymmetry allows for a longer vibrating C string. The cut-away design lightens the tailpiece and opens up the sound of the cello. Integrated fine tuners are modular, removable, and interchangeable with traditional “keyhole” type of string attachment inserts, so it can be configured to your preferred set-up if you use gut strings or have PegHeds. Please let us know if you want both the fine tuner modules and keyhole modules.
