Endpin Screw for Double Bass, 4S

Endpin screw for double bass. It clamps the endpin at the chosen length.

• Spare part
• 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.

Technical data

Features

• For double bass

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 Götz endpin rubber 3S-503 is made from a PAH-free blend of natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber (NR/SBR; PAH stands for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) with a hardness of 60 Shore A, plus or minus 5. It meets the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and the PAH limits of Regulation (EU) 1272/2013, and one piece weighs 3 grams. On the double bass the endpin rubber stands up to the normal wear from pressure and movement for a long time.

The 4S-6146 screw is 12 millimetres long.
