Licqua Natural Cleaner – Varnish
LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER has been formulated from derivatives of vegetable proteins and active principles that are used in the field of high natural cosmetics. Its balanced and innovative 100% natural formula with Ph. 7 shows excellent compatibility with almost all types of varnishes.

LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER is made up of a network of lamellar liquid crystals that facilitate the release of active substances on the varnish, prolonging its conservation, beauty and hydration and leaving a wet effect that gives the varnish greater luminosity.
It has been applied on multiple occasions and with magnificent results on classical instruments such as Stradivari, Guarneri family, Bergonzi, Guadagnini, Ruggeri, S. Serafino, Tecchler, Vuillaume, etc. as well as on modern instruments from different schools.
LICQUA NATURAL CLEANER is packaged in an acrylic airless container to prolong its conservation and is presented in containers of 40ml or 1.35 fl.oz. It is a vegan product and can be applied to the varnish of any kind of musical instrument (violins, cellos, bows, guitars, pianos, etc.). It does not contain ingredients or products of animal origin or tested on animals. No silicone, parabens, abrasives, waxes or petroleum derivatives.
It is biodegradable, antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Its pleasant and smooth aroma is the result of the synergy of various incorporated active substances.

Cello soloist & chamber musician - Lisboa, Portugal
There have been many pieces of research on acoustic improvement on cello spikes. I tried almost all of them, but none convinced me. However, the FASTER Artica 600 cello endpin makes a real difference!
Sound becomes free and achieves a large projection in the concert hall.

I enjoy very much playing my cello with my new FASTER Artica 600 Titanium endpin. The instrument sounds better. The projection is more efficient, and the sound is more rounded, deep, and rich in harmonics.
I am so happy!

I have installed the FASTER Titanium 600 cello endpin, designed by maestro José María Lozano, and I am incredibly satisfied with the results. From the very first moment, I have noticed a massive improvement in my violoncello.
I recommend this endpin to all cellists for being such a valuable invention.

Dear José María, thank you so much again for helping me and my viola with the FASTER Titanium. I am so happy!
Many people have noticed an improvement in my viola, so a very big thank you. I have told many people about you and will continue to do this!

The FASTER Silver has increased the sound and the harmonics in my violin, thus getting a quicker response and making it easier to play. Some fellow musicians ask me whether I had a new violin!
I am very much satisfied with the results and recommend it to all violinists.
Thank you for your valuable help in making my violin even more beautiful!

The FASTER Artica endpins improve the sound enormously, and also the instrument’s response. Its reaction is more pleasant, and an improvement in the string resonance is noticeable both in the bow and the left hand.
In my case and my instrument, it considerably increases the sound value. It is not only a matter of power and brightness but also of sound quality.
I have tried two endpins, the Artica Titanium and the Artica Silver. With the titanium model, the sound gets more rounded, and the range of harmonics is much better than with a regular endpin. The feeling with the silver model is similar, although, in my opinion, the sound quality is much better, being much more round and refined.

Giovanni Battista Fabris
Concertmaster - Orchestra del Teatro Carlo Felice. Genova, Italy
I have the privilege of having been the first to try the FASTER Silver, created by José María Lozano.
The sound quality produced by the FASTER Silver is excellent. In addition to the FASTER Titanium features, caused by faster physical functioning and air movement inside the instrument, you can produce better dynamics.
The intensity that the sound acquires is physically perceptible in the hands so far that it becomes rather pleasant, as when making dough for bread. The ease of execution increases, and so does the emission rate. Doing better seems impossible, but you never know with him. The attainable bow attack is impressive. It produces many more harmonics. To sum up, as much as it may cost, given the results, it is a low price.
Bravo, José María

Dear José María, allow me to share with you my opinion about your FASTER Artica 600 Titanium and Silver cello endpins, a real discovery for me. Not only do they improve the production of harmonics in the instrument, but they also produce a considerable increase in loudness. The tone in my cello has become clean and beautiful, with astonishing clarity and sharpness. What the Artica cello endpin can accomplish is striking.
Congratulations on the thorough study of the sound quality of the instruments, and on your attention towards our instruments’ accessories, which far from staying mere accessories, they turn out to be indispensable music tools thanks to you. Thank you so much!
