baroquecello Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Beatiful work, as usual. I can't help but notice that the cello has a black end pin. If that indeed it a carbon fibre end pin, I strongly suggest you try out a different material for the end pin. I've never had a carbon fibre end pin work well for the sound. In my experience, practically any other material will do better than carbon fibre, what the end pin is concerned. (Tail piecs are another story alltogether) You are im Amsterdam, I believe, and I'm sure you have enough high level players around to try the cello. It will show in just a few seconds that CF is worse, when you do a direct comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try the different material and model with the final customer ( like the strings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try the different material and model with the final customer ( like the strings) Yes, you are right ofcourse, it depends on the instrument, and some cellos are not sensitive to the end pin at all. Still, if they are, in my experience, CF is always one of the least well performing end pins, sound wise (not comfort wise; the light weight is nice, but can also be had with aluminum, for instance). But of course, if you try out with the customer, then that is all that is necessary. Out of curiosity: have you really had any cello that you felt sounded better with a CF end pin than with another material? It would be interesting to me, also to know which brand that may have been (CF does probably not equal CF). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, a wolf in sheeps clothing! Camouflage! It is cheating! That does sound interesting, I've not tried, or even seen carbon covered metals yet. Do you happen to have the brand or makers name?
