Smart Stop is a reliable rockstop with fun colors and designs, but is discontinued so this is what’s left in stock. HYBRID has a larger hole which accommodates cello and bass endpins. Solid colors: White (2) , Plum (1), Antique Copper (1). CELLO STOP has a smaller hole for cello endpin. Solid colors: Blue (2) , Yellow (1), Purple (5). Dinosaur (1)
The Black Hole is a solid rubber disk that is concave on the bottom, tacky to the touch when clean, and sticks to most but not all (clean) floor surfaces. The cup for the tip is 5/8″ in diameter and 3/8″ deep which only matters if you keep a rubber tip over your sharp endpin tip. There is a hard plastic liner to protect sharp tips (like New Harmony’s) from piercing the rockstop. Remember to renew the tacky surface by a warm water wash when dirt and particles stuck to it prevent it from slipping.
Stoppin is a clear rubber rockstop, 3″ square, has a concave tacky bottom to form a suction on most clean smooth surfaces. Also works on carpets. The top has a bubbled surface so you can easily adjust placement of your endpin. This is not a good choice if you have an extremely sharp tip as it will eventually puncture and penetrate the rubber. Stoppin Small is half the size and half the price at $6.00
This small tuning fork produces a pure A 440 Hz tone when you strike it — let’s say against your knee — and then set it on the top of the cello’s bridge. The sound naturally dissipates. It is the most reliable for pitch and requires no battery. Weight 14.6 g, diameter 3.6 mm, length 116mm (4.25″) Plastic case included.
Artino’s SP4W rockstop has a 3.5″ diameter round wood resonating chamber, 7/8″ tick with non-skid backing. The web strap extends from 24-43 inches with a loop on the end, and is detachable so the Artino can be used with or without strap. The cup that holds the endpin is plastic lined to prevent sharp tips from penetrating. If you keep a rubber tip over your endpin, be aware the cup is just over 5/8″ in diameter and only 2mm (less than 1/16″) deep. The effectiveness of the resonating chamber will vary with a room’s features and acoustic properties. Weight 2.3 ounces.
