BELTON Solo – Double Bass Acoustic Stopper
Belton Solo is the most innovative cello endpin stopper on the market. Its elaborate design in aeronautical carbon fiber (0º, 45º, 90º) and stainless steel bowl of high hardness, bring to this small model excellent acoustic qualities for Orchestra, Concert Halls, Camera, Recordings, and Auditions.
Belton Solo performs the functions of a small Passive Amplifier and a Vibration Dispersion Inhibitor that increases the acoustic projection and sound volume of cellos, providing a considerable increase in the production of harmonics and dynamic range, as well as ease of execution and response speed. Belton Solo 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 Solo 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 Solo the contact area with the floor must be clean of dust and rosin.
Belton Solo is supplied 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 Solo 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 129mm
Total Height: 26mm
Total weight: 215gr.
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 Solo 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 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.

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.

No praise is exaggerated to extol the magnificent invention of the illustrious Spanish luthier José María Lozano, called FASTER. A system that extracts a clearer, more focused sound, with projection and great quality. My 1787 Nadotti cello never sounded better!
Thank you Maestro!

The FASTER Artica cello endpins by Maestro José María Lozano are a true revolution for the sound of the cello. From the first moment, you feel how the instrument offers you all the harmonics with a rich and wide sound that enhances all its colors. It is ideal for playing as a soloist, as in chamber music or in the orchestra. It offers you an incomparable feeling of freedom, being able to fix the cello on any surface. It is without a doubt a great evolution for our instrument that every cellist should be able to enjoy!

The FASTER Artica 600 cello endpin give my cello a larger bouquet of harmonics, the sound is easier to emit and this is a great advantage!
Finally, the tungsten carbide tip is something extraordinary as it grips all surfaces giving great stability to the instrument. A beautiful technical innovation that has the great advantage of not changing the aesthetic appearance of the instrument simply by adding an extra touch of elegance.

In a market in which, many times, small illusions in the increase in the amount of sound push us to acquire products that are not strictly necessary, I find that all the sound systems developed by José María Lozano (Cello endpin, Stoppers and cello end-butons), produce an objective and noticeable improvement in the quantity, warmth and quality of the cello’s sound.
The FASTER Sound Systems brand develops products that enhance your instrument in a surprising way and before considering that an instrument does not meet your needs, a visit to Maestro Lozano’s workshop or the Faster Sound systems online store seems inescapable.
