Wittner Ultra Tailpiece
$32.00
Wittner composite tailpiece has integrated fine tuners and comes with a tail cord. Changing strings is easy because the parts you need to thread are on the front of the tailpiece. An excellent replacement for old ebony tailpieces with bulky add-on fine tuners. Tailpiece for 7/8 and 4/4 size cellos is 235 mm in length. Fractional sizes can be ordered.

Composite Fitting 6 degree angle bore for 10mm Endpin (NHM)
$85.00Endpin 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).

Pegheds (offered here only in our cellos)
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.

Stringvision Posture Pegs
$150.00Posture Pegs from Stringvision afford freedom of movement by eliminating the protruding peg heads. Tuning is accomplished by means of a removable key with grip. The peg shank is a blackwood blank, tapering from 14mm at the collar to 12.5 mm at the small end, 6.3 cm in length. It must be shaped and fit by a luthier to the existing peg hole. Set of 2 pegs includes two shanks and two keys. *The steel sleeve is 2 cm long, so if you want to use these pegs in a fractional cello, make sure the peg diameter is thick enough so as not to interfere.
