Deo Lawson Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 "High-performance acoustic accessories line: End buttons, endpins and BELTON stoppers for violin, viola, cello and double bass, built in titanium, silver, carbon fiber and composites. Cosmetic line of multi-protective creams for wooden and brass musical instruments: Formulated with 100% natural-vegan active ingredients specifically developed to clean, protect and maintain delicate varnishes and lacquers, metal strings, pegs, ebony fingerboards, piano keyboards, brass surfaces and other essential parts" All I can say is: lol My condolences to whoever bought that vegan protective cream and smeared canola oil all over their trumpet. But on second thought, some people might find that handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroquecello Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Read the second paragraph for the cello end pin .... LOL so hard! Did you know that a cello generates residual air when played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that a cello generates residual air when played? For those who don't want to click on the link: FASTER processes the residual air produced in the instrument’s soundbox to create natural-sounding amplification and much more… If that makes any sense to anyone, then they deserve to have 500 less Euros. However, the seller doesn't deserve to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddleDoug Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Does it make a 440 tone when you blow into it??? If not, it's probably just snake oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Roop Posted October 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks Y'all... that's what I thought. If there was a serious scientific principle involved, they would refer to that principle. Cheers!... Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO there's a serious scientific principle involved all right. It's just not so much an acoustics principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
