BELTON Ellic – Double Bass Acoustic Stopper
Belton Ellic is the acoustic evolution for concert of the acoustic cello and double bass endpin stopper Belton Grafit. Its clean elliptical design and its construction in aeronautical carbon fiber and stainless steel bowl of high hardness, bring to this innovative model excellent acoustic qualities.
Belton Ellic performs the functions of a acoustic stopper that increases the acoustic projection and sound volume of cellos and double basses,providing a considerable increase in the production of harmonics and dynamic range, as well as ease of execution and response speed.
Belton Ellic includes an acoustic device in the interior design of its structure that acts as a vibration dispersion inhibitor, largely preventing the vibration of the instrument from being absorbed by the ground and, consequently, preventing the loss of acoustic energy.
Belton Ellic incorporates three high-performance removable adhesive discs on the back, usable for more than a thousand applications and that can be washed with water and hand soap gel to remove dirt, thus recovering its strong and safe adhesion on the pavement. To ensure the proper functioning of Belton Ellic, the contact area with the floor must be clean of dust and rosin.
Belton Ellic incorporates a small lever made of carbon fiber for removal as well as three removable replacement adhesives.
Before placing the endpin of the instrument on the Belton Ellic adhere this to the floor exerting a slight force with your foot on the small steel bowl. If this precaution is not taken, the adhesive discs could turn on themselves, canceling their main function. The white dot and the logo stopper should be placed in front position.
Taxes / VAT and shiping not included.
Dimensions: 178 x 124mm
Total Height: 11mm
Total weight: 265gr.
Central bowl: Made of high hardness 316 stainless steel.
Body: manufactured in T700 aeronautical carbon fiber with prepreg fibers. The structure has been built following a fiber arrangement at 0º, 45º and 90º to offer maximum resistance.
Adhesive disc: made of high-performance removable adhesive silicone polyurethane with a 3M permanent adhesive side that should be placed on the opposite side of the floor.
When the adhesive disc loses its grip it can be washed just with water or water and hand soap. It should be dried gently with a towel and never with paper, since it will stick on the adhesive
disc. If that was the case, wash again with water until the paper is removed and adhesion is regained.
ATTENTION: Before placing the endpin of the instrument on the Belton Ellic adhere this to the floor exerting a slight force with your foot on the small steel bowl. If this precaution is not
taken, the adhesive discs could turn on themselves, canceling their main function.
Belton Ellic is supplied a small lever made of carbon fiber for removal as well as three removable replacement adhesives.
To ensure the proper functioning of Belton Ellic the contact area with the floor must be clean from dust and rosin.

I am very impressed with the possibilities offered by every endpin model!
I am particularly fond of the Artica 600 Titanium, which I installed in my modern 2001 Alberto Giordano violoncello. The A-string is now much softer and uniform as to the whole set, which makes me so happy!
Besides, the overall sound production of the instrument is smoother, and the noise in sound production has decreased. Also, the cello tone has improved in quality as well as loudness.
The instrument is now more harmonious and sounds better in practice.
Thank you very much for your valuable work.

Dear José María, the products of FASTER Sound Systems are amazing. The output delivered by your endpins and stoppers goes beyond reality. They are fantastic.
Never had I tried something similar, something that facilitated me to play freely, with no tensions, and with a significant increase in harmonics, loudness, and sound projection across the hall.
Thank you very much for your splendid innovations.

FASTER, what a great invention!
The first thing I noticed is how much faster the instrument’s sound opens. And above all, the ease in the response!
Bravo, maestro!

All beautifully crafted models of the FASTER Artica cello endpin sound fabulous. They are just awesome!
All of them sound undoubtedly different, but, if they have one thing in common, and I think they do, is that they make the sound more clean and round, bright and projective.

I have installed the FASTER Silver in my Vuillaume violin. The sound is simply amazing, very free, with plenty of harmonics, and incredible tone quality.

I have extensively tried the FASTER Silver in my G. A. Rocca violin with different pieces of music, and various acoustics, and I feel happy to let you know that it did improve the sound of my violin!
Not only is it more powerful, but also more rounded, and it did improve a lot the clarity of the sound.
Besides, the possibility of closing the hole with the small plastic cap gives me the option to opting for a more compact sound if needed without losing all the harmonics-related benefits that the silver button adds.
Thank you very much. You did a fantastic job!

I am impressed with the result after installing the FASTER Titanium in my Stefano Scarampella violin. The change has surprised me because I did not think it would be so evident. I have to admit that in the beginning, I had my doubts as to the outcome. The sound production is now quicker, and the medium-low range has improved so much! Previously, my violin had a very powerful E-string, which made sound balance at stake. I tried various sound adjustments, but the result was never successful. Ever since I installed the FASTER Titanium, the violin’s sound production is better. It has gained harmonic richness, which has turned sound production smoother and sweeter.
Thank you very much! Love,

When someone shows you FASTER, a mix of surprise and skepticism over something so small and simple-looking overwhelms you. Once installed in the violin, you cannot go backward and do without it. Without hesitation, FASTER is the most ground-breaking invention, and also the one that has most contributed in terms of sound to string instruments in the last three hundred years.
