Cube Acoustics 8mm endpin is made of a patent-pending special alloy. Weight is ~ 246 g, length is 23.5″. The extra length allows for more rod resonating in the cello. Of course this varies with height of cellist, body length and contours of cello, so results should vary. 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 over time and it can be left to a natural brown patina. If you want to polish it, recommended is 0000 steel wool, or brass/silver polish. Tip can be resharpened, or retrofit with a silicon carbide tip.
The Memminger hollow titanium endpin has five sets of 4 holes that spiral around the endpin every 90 degrees, about 1″ apart. Length 23.5″, weight ~ 92 grams.
This set from New Harmony Music includes a composite fitting and a solid 10mm carbon fiber rod, 20″ long. It is very stable when extended. The hole in the fitting is bored at a 6-degree angle, so your cello will sit slightly more horizontal. Cellists who have tried instruments with this setup find it very comfortable. The diameter on the composite fitting is 27.5 mm. The tip on this endpin is heat-hardened steel and can be resharpened.
