- Removable and replaceable
- The endpin carries the instrument and passes vibration to the floor. Length and angle determine your playing posture and should be set properly once.
- Tighten the endpin screw only as far as it needs to hold. Overtightening widens the endpin socket.

Features
- For the cello endpin
In practice
- An endpin rubber protects the floor and the tip; as a wearing part it is renewed once it becomes hard or cracked.
- On smooth floors an endpin rest with a socket or an anchor gives additional grip.
Material and mechanics
The 4S-6146 screw is 12 millimetres long.
Our experience
Our experience: the endpin rubber is needed for two reasons, in the case for the case floor and when playing for the floor itself, which is why many professionals leave it on the tip in the case. The steel tip is razor sharp, and no case withstands it in the long run without a rubber.
When another model suits you better
If you want extra grip on a smooth floor, our ZP-2016 series endpin rests offer a centring magnet and a foam-rubber base.
Frequently asked questions
Why should the rubber stay on the tip in the case?
Because otherwise the sharp steel tip damages the floor of the case.
