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.

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.

  • Seoyun Moon

    Violinist - Paris, France

    Thank you very much for inventing FASTER Silver. It has given my violin a new life!

  • Enrico Balboni

    Concertmaster - Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice di Venezia. Italy

    I had heard good reviews from fellow musicians who had installed FASTER in their instruments, so I decided to do the same in my Stefano Scarampella violin.

    With FASTER Silver, the instrument has immediately responded with much effortless sound production and an increase in harmonics and brightness. The sound is now warmer and complete, to such an extent that I decided to install another one in my Roberto Collini viola, obtaining a more than satisfactory response.

    I wholeheartedly thank maestro José María Lozano for this fantastic opportunity, and without reservations recommend FASTER to all those seeking to improve the quality of their instruments.

  • Pavel Gomziakov

    Cello soloist & chamber musician - Lisboa, Portugal

    There have been many pieces of research on acoustic improvement on cello spikes. I tried almost all of them, but none convinced me. However, the FASTER Artica 600 cello endpin makes a real difference!

    Sound becomes free and achieves a large projection in the concert hall.

  • Nicolas Hartmann

    Principal cellist - Orquestre National de Lyon. France

    I enjoy very much playing my cello with my new FASTER Artica 600 Titanium endpin. The instrument sounds better. The projection is more efficient, and the sound is more rounded, deep, and rich in harmonics.

    I am so happy!

  • Gabriele Geminiani

    Principal cellist - Orchestra Santa Cecilia. Roma, Italy

    José María Lozano, and I am incredibly satisfied with the results. From the very first moment, I have noticed a massive improvement in my violoncello.

    I recommend this endpin to all cellists for being such a valuable invention.

  • Scott Dickinson

    Viola soloist, chamber musician and principal violist of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - Scotland

    Dear José María, thank you so much again for helping me and my viola with the FASTER Titanium. I am so happy!

    Many people have noticed an improvement in my viola, so a very big thank you. I have told many people about you and will continue to do this!

    Thank you again and all very best wishes.

  • Günther Sanin

    Concertmaster - Orchestra Arena di Verona. Verona - Italy

    The FASTER Silver has increased the sound and the harmonics in my violin, thus getting a quicker response and making it easier to play. Some fellow musicians ask me whether I had a new violin!

    I am very much satisfied with the results and recommend it to all violinists.

    Thank you for your valuable help in making my violin even more beautiful!

  • Rodrigo Moro Martín

    Principal double bassist - Orquesta Nacional de España & Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Spain

    The FASTER Artica endpins improve the sound enormously, and also the instrument’s response. Its reaction is more pleasant, and an improvement in the string resonance is noticeable both in the bow and the left hand.

    In my case and my instrument, it considerably increases the sound value. It is not only a matter of power and brightness but also of sound quality.

    I have tried two endpins, the Artica Titanium and the Artica Silver. With the titanium model, the sound gets more rounded, and the range of harmonics is much better than with a regular endpin. The feeling with the silver model is similar, although, in my opinion, the sound quality is much better, being much more round and refined.
