ESSENTIAL CELLO ACCESSORIES

Cello Endpin Stops

Endpin stops are one of the most common accessory for cello players. Endpin stops are designed to make playing the cello stable and comfortable. An endpin stop can transform your comfort, tone, and confidence—especially when you’re practicing for hours—by reducing the amount of times the instrument slips, or the need to keep it held tightly between your knees.

Cello Rosins

Cello rosin is an essential accessory for all players. Rosin is a block or cake of tree sap you rub on the bow hair required to have it produce sound. The bow will not produce sound when drawn across the strings without rosin. Ideally, players use rosin specifically made for their instrument. Varieties are often differing levels of stickiness, and depend on the player’s tastes.

Cello Mutes

Cello mutes are an affordable, useful accessory for cellists of all skill levels. Mutes rest on the bridge to reduce the bridge’s vibration and thus the volume of sound emitted by the instrument. Mutes are commonly used by players in groups or ensembles, as those pieces frequently call for muted playing from time to time. We also have practice mutes, which diminish the sound enough for someone to practice and not disturb those in the next room!

Cello Fine Tuners

Cello fine tuners are a great accessory for any player, but especially for beginners. Fine tuners make tuning your cello much easier. Instead of having to use the pegs at the scroll (which takes a lot of practice!), fine tuners are on the tailpiece. You screw and unscrew the tuner, making smaller, more precise adjustments to the tension of the string. We carry varieties of fine tuners for cello in our shop. In general, our rental instruments all carry fine tuners.

Cello Wolf Eliminators

Cello wolf eliminators (or wolf tone suppressors), reduce wolf tones on the cello. Wolf tones are an issue for some instruments, caused by the natural resonant frequency of open strings. If you have a wolf tone, you hear an unpleasant overtone when you play an open string. This can be challenging if you love your instrument! Wolf eliminators alter the resonant frequency of the string, reducing the occurrence of wolf tones, so you can continue to enjoy playing on your instrument.

Cello Pickups

Cello pickups are a great accessory for cello players hoping to perform in a professional setting where there is a concern about audibility.
