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.
