BELTON Mini – Cello Acoustic Stopper
Belton Mini is likely to be the smallest acoustic cello and double bass endpin stopper on the market. Its clean design and advanced materials give this small endpin stopper excellent acoustic qualities.
Belton Mini 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 Mini Belton Mini 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 Mini incorporates a small lever made of carbon fiber for removal as well as one removable replacement adhesive. To ensure the proper functioning of Belton Mini the contact area with the floor must be clean from dust and rosin.
Before placing the endpin of the instrument on the Belton Mini 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 shipping not included
Dimensions: OD 66mm
Total Height: 11mm
Total weight: 45gr.
Central bowl: Made of high hardness 316 stainless steel.
Body: Made of modified copolymer by adding carbon. It offers high chemical and abrasion resistance, including high strength and hardness properties. Physiologically inert. 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.
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 Mini 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.

I have installed the FASTER Titanium in three violins that date from 1663, 1850, and 2012. Thanks to this great invention, the sound qualities have improved in all of these instruments.
FASTER inspires me and helps me do more with less.

I am delighted with my new FASTER Artica titanium cello endpin and with the Belton Grafit cello end pin stopper. I feel how the vibrations of my instrument have increased in contact with my body, with the ground and around it. The harmonics have increased notably and my cello has a greater projection without losing its usual warmth, transmitting a round, clean and enveloping sound.

Dear friends and colleagues,
The first time they told me about Master Lozano’s FASTER Titanium, I was quite skeptical and incredulous. Now it is installed on two of my violins, one old and one modern. The change with the FASTER has been incredible with no less than 30% sound, projection, harmonics, tonal richness, and great playability.
José María I’m super happy with your genius . Thank you, thank you, thank you!.

Dear Maestro, I wanted to tell you that Professor Fabbris had already put the Faster on my “Augusto Pollastri” from 1925 with excellent results!
Then after I had my Cremona luthier do the work of closing and reopening the button hole (because it was too big), he finally inserted the Faster into my second instrument as well (a 1917 “Serafino Casini” published in the book “La Grande Liuteria Italiana” by A.Versari), obtaining a much more homogeneous and powerful sound for this instrument too!
Thank you again for your wonderful invention and for your great work.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the FASTER Silver. My violin sounds clearly cleaner and rounder, and I find it much easier to play. I can achieve the same effects as before with much less effort, and it helps me find greater sonic freedom. In addition, the harmonics sound clearer, which translates into greater projection. A great discovery!

My first meeting with Mr. Jose Maria Lozano was a unique experience in the best possible way. He opened me the door to the world of new sound options and I believe this is only the first step in the search for an amazing sound quality.
I can only recommend his FASTER Sound Systems for violin, so please try it and let yourself begin a new journey with your instrument. Sincerely,

Silvina Álvarez
Principal violist – Orquesta Nacional de España - Madrid
My experience with the Viola FASTER Titanium is always highly satisfactory.
I consider that the gain in resonance, in tone, in volume, harmonics and consistency in the sound, makes it an absolutely innovative accessory and to take into account when setting up an instrument, of course by the hand of a master luthier of the quality of José María Lozano.
