The 8mm NHM endpin is solid carbon fiber with a heat-hardened steel tip, 20″ long and comes with the matching composite fitting which tightens with a collar rather than putting pressure of a screw tip against the rod. Fittings are available in 27.5 and 25.5mm so you need to know the size the opening in your cello when placing your order. Protective rubber cap for the extremely sharp tip is included and extras may be purchased.
Endpin fitting is composite/stainless with thumb screw that tightens a collar around the endpin. 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).
This Harp style is pictured in glossy twill carbon fiber and does not have fine tuners. It is also available in black paint finish.
You can order fine tuners on this tailpiece, but they are not an add-on after purchase. They are specifically drilled for the Titanium hook style ($70 for set of 4), or the black mini-lever style ($35 for the set of 4).
The Klaus Bender endpin fitting features a twist-to-tighten mechanism which eliminates the traditional thumb screw. Where wood fittings can swell and shrink with seasonal changes, the aluminum (like composites) are unaffected by weather changes. Currently we do not stock these but have special ordered them. The hole accommodates a 10mm endpin, and the fitting itself is available in four diameters: 23.5 mm, 25 mm, 26.5 mm and 28 mm. Check the size of your cello’s hole so you know which you need. Bender also offers four different endpin shafts but so far cellists have just been interested in the fitting itself. Call for availability and pricing which is subject to change as we special order.
