The cello and double bass are longstanding instruments that are indispensable to the field of classical music, with a design considered to be nearly perfect.
Yet when used for long periods of time, even the finest instruments deteriorate and degrade.
While some instruments employ wood with a harmonious blend of softness and rigidity, allowing the instrument to evolve into a richer timbre over time, an experienced instrumentalist will likely have come across many instruments the tone of which tends to become cloudy and unpleasant over time.
When it comes to sockets, the endpin guide hole openings (bush) can collapse or lose tension, impeding the instrument from producing a delicate and responsive sound.
One advantage of cork bushes is that even if the socket hole fidelity is even slightly off, the endpin can be pushed in without resistance. However, this translates to a greater loss in terms of sound conductivity.
In effect, the cork mutes the natural resonance of the instrument.
There are many endpins available to the consumer today, but we feel that the socket itself must be revamped if we are to remedy this problem.
Furthermore, the ease of use of this component remains unchanged, with few major structural advances to its design over hundreds of years.
Affixing endpins requires carefully searching for the groove while tightening them into place.
Have you found yourself resigned to this process, as though this is the only way?
The days in which endpins and sockets merely acted as support structures for instruments are now over.
We believe these components must aid in the actual quality of sound produced.
Furthermore, these components are now poised to offer much greater ease of use.
We present a high quality socket and endpin solution developed using advanced, next-generation design and technology.
This is an opportunity to take your instrument to the next level.
