Artica 500 - Titanium - Acoustic Endpin

FASTER Artica 500 Titanium Cello Acoustic Endpin is a high-performance cello endpin designed following complex parameters completely different from the acoustic cello endpins existing in the market. Its operation is based on diverse concepts of applied aerodynamics with which exceptional sound results have been obtained in concert halls, cello solo recitals, cello and piano recitals, chamber music and recordings.

The objective of FASTER Artica 500 Titanium and its main function is to eliminate part of the residual air that is constantly generated inside the cello and that, in turn, cannot be completely released from the resonance chamber through the f-holes, causing the incomplete production of harmonics.

FASTER Artica 500 Titanium Acoustic Endpin has been tested with excellent results on numerous   fine  cellos.  It  increases  volume,   harmonics   production, sound  projection, tone quality, ease of performance, and the lifetime of the strings. It also reduces or suppresses wolf tones and provides other nice features that will undoubtedly make your life easier, at least, when performing.

The relevant acoustic virtues of FASTER Artica 500 Titanium, its elegant and careful design, as well as the selection of exclusive materials and its high standard of manufacturing make this set an appreciated object of desire for any player. With FASTER Artica you will discover the new possibilities that your instrument offers to you.

    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.
