8 mm Solid Carbon Fiber Endpin NHM
New Harmony’s 8mm carbon fiber endpin is 20″ long, weighs ~ 42 grams with a rubber cap that weighs 6 grams. It is a one-for-one replacement for most solid metal endpins. If you don’t have calipers to measure diameter of your existing endpin, measure around the circumference of the rod. If it’s 1″, the diameter is 8mm. The tip is heat-hardened steel that can be sharpened, though it maintains its original point for a long time. Some players report some flex compared to solid metal rods, but this varies with player movement (emoting) as well as how close you are to full extension. *Add $10 for the model with a steel carbide tip

Frirsz Alloy Tailpiece
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.
