New Harmony Music’s solid 10 mm CF endpin has an extremely sharp heat-hardened steel tip which can be resharpened. If you don’t have calipers to measure the diameter of your current endpin, you can measure around the circumference. If it’s 1.25″ you have a 10 mm endpin. Each endpin is sold with a (replaceable) plastic-lined rubber cap. While the standard endpin length is 20″, some cellists are finding that more endpin resonating inside their cello improves the sound. Results always vary, so we can’t tell you what will happen, only that we can give you the opportunity to try and find out.
20″ endpin $63.00 24″ endpin $76.00 28″ endpin $84.00
Another ConCarbo tailpiece option for cellists without Pegheds or other geared pegs is this “twill” French style model with mini levers. The gallery photos show the back and side view of the tailpiece so you can appreciate how the string loads from the back for a clean look on the front, with less weight. Since all our cellos have Pegheds, we don’t use this model here at the shop but can order it if it doesn’t happen to be in stock when you inquire. Options for the tailpiece itself include black matte or shiny in addition to the “twill.” We can special order this for you.
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.
