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.
