Product description
- The Stahlhammer-cello-endpin locks into two positions (angles): straight and bent 25 degrees. The endpin can also be angled sideways.
- At 125 grams (4 ounces), the Stahlhammer Carbon fiber Endpin is one of the lightest on the market.
- At 160 grams the Stahlhammer Aluminum-alloy Endpin is also one of the lightest on the market.
- The Stahlhammer-cello-endpins lock into two positions (angles): straight and bent 25 degrees. The endpin can also be angled sideways.
- The tip, made of hardened steel is threaded and replaceable. Custom tips in other materials made to order.
- The endpin retracts fully, allowing for easy storage of the cello in its case.
- The endpin comes with a standard cone (angle 1:17) for installation in the cello.
- The endpin comes in three different lengths to suit children and tall adults: Short, 23 to 40 cm (9-15 ¾ inches), Medium, 27 to 50 cm (10 ½ - 19 ½ inches), Long 30 to 55 cm (11 ¾ -21 ½ inches). Other lengths made to order.
- The Carbon-fiber model is black.
- The Aluminum-alloy endpin can be ordered in black, chrome, gold-plated, and in most colors.
- Extra tips screws etc. can be ordered separately.
- A bent endpin makes the cello steadier and lighter on the chest, because the point of balance changes.
Instructions
- Installation: Make the hole in the cello even with a standard reamer (1:17). (Cones with other angles, ranging from 1:17 to 1:20, are also available to suit different reamers.)
- Insert the aluminum cone, which ranges in diameter from 23 mm to 27 mm, into the cello as far as it goes. (Cones with diameters from 20 mm to 23 mm can be ordered separately.) Make a pencil line marking the border of the protruding part. Take out the cone and cut on the line with a saw. The remaining portion of the cone can be shortened to about 3 cm (1 ¼ inch). The endpin will fit perfectly into the cylindrical hole inside the cone.
- To play with a bent endpin: Pull out the upper tube completely, fold it to the 25-degree angle and lock with the screw. For a longer bent endpin, use the lower telescoping tube. Lock by turning the lower tube clockwise. Unlock by turning it half-a-turn counter-clockwise.
- To play with a straight endpin: Pull out the upper tube completely, then push it back 1 cm (1/2 inch) or more and lock with the screw. For a longer straight endpin, use the lower telescoping tube. Lock and unlock as above.
- To withdraw the endpin: Unlock the lower tube, then unlock the upper tube, push in both tubes and lock both tubes.
- Do not apply or allow oil or fat between (inside) the telescoping tubes; it will cause the locking system to function less efficiently. If necessary, clean by putting a few drops of alcohol between the tubes and then pull the inner tube in and out; wipe clean with a dry cloth or tissue.
- To replace the tip, unscrew the old tip with a wrench and apply a drop of thread locker or contact glue on the thread of the new tip to make it grip firmly.
“The attractive Stahlhammer endpin is simply the state of the art for any cellist.”
Lynn Harrell, Cellist, Professor, USA and England
“A design conceived from an ingenious idea, constructed in a way which is stable, reliable and esthetically appealing.”
Frans Helmerson, Cellist, Professor, Sweden and Germany
“I consider it the best of its kind. I am recommending it to all cellists.”
Janos Starker, Cellist, Professor, USA

Berättelsen är rak med en fascinerande detaljrikedom. Ur den faktiska framställningen lyser känslorna igenom utan yviga gester, bara genom väl valda ord. Detaljerad historieskrift med realism som övertygar.
Ivan Österblad, Länstidningen Södertälje
Rakt på sak, närmast konstlöst, låter han fadern föra talan. Denna enkelhet i framställningen gör att man grips av innehållet, ett öde i tiden. Kodnamn Frisör är ett naket dokument om ett livsöde präglat av krig, fasa och förföljelse.

När kriget var slut hade han skaffat sig erfarenheter som ingen människa borde behöva bära med sig genom livet.

-en omskakande skildring av krigets fasor och umbäranden med djup omänsklig förnedring.
