TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Total length & weight: 62cm – 227 ( ±2 ) gr. Tube diameter: OD 10mm
Hollow capsule: made of naval brass, with two perforations at an angle of 45° whose
intersectionforms a triangle that fulfills the role of air diffuser.
Over time, the hollow capsule will lose its shine and color due to contact with hands and air. To restore its original condition, it is necessary to polish it with a metal cleaner.
Hardened tungsten carbide tip: ready to be fixed on all surfaces. However, being a material
almost as hard as diamond, it can fracture with a blow. Under normal use conditions, its performance will be effective for many years.
Titanium endpin tube: manufactured aerospace titanium, constituted by a 49cm cooper
alloy inner core and by three 49cm copper capillary tubes which act as air exchanger compressors.
To prevent the buildup of grease from your hands and dirt, it is advisable to clean the titanium tube from time to time with alcohol.
VERY IMPORTANT:
To achieve optimal acoustic performance, the black dot and the endpin logo must be placed in the front position.

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.
Thank you José María for your invention!

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.
