BELTON Grafit – Double Bass Acoustic Stopper
Belton Grafit built in aeronautical carbon fiber is the smallest acoustic stopper for cello and double bass on the market. Its clean design and advanced materials give this small endpin stopper excellent acoustic qualities.
Belton Grafit includes in its interior design an acoustic device that acts as a vibration dispersion inhibitor, preventing, to a great extent, that the vibration of the instrument is absorbed by the ground, and consequently avoiding the loss of acoustic energy.
Belton Grafit incorporates a high-performance removable adhesive disc 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 adhesion.
Belton Grafit is supplied a small lever made of carbon fiber for removal as well as one removable replacement adhesive.
To ensure the proper functioning of Belton Grafit the contact area with the floor must be clean from dust and rosin. Before placing the endpin of the instrument on the Belton Grafit 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: OD 66mm.
Total Height: 11mm.
Total weight: 49gr.
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 Grafit 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 Grafit is supplied a small lever made of carbon fiber for removal as well as one removable replacement adhesive. To ensure the proper functioning of Belton Grafit the contact area with the floor must be clean from dust and rosin.

I just installed FASTER Silver on my violin and it sounds like I have a Strad, wow!
Now the sound is louder, cleaner, more balanced, rounder and more bombastic. I love it!
I feel like I’m going to be heard in the last seat in the theater!
Thanks for everything Jose Maria.

For a long time I have been searching for a perfect endpin to match the fine sound of the old and precious English cello I’m playing. After having tried around twenty different endpins, including renowned brands like Mitsuke and Berliner, I was beginning to lose hope to find anything that would make a real difference. But the FASTER Artica 600 Titanium endpin was a game changer: it makes my cello even clearer and easy playing than it already was, but above all, it adds an amazing amount of projection and warmth to the sound. I can warmly recommend it to all cellists.
