Mirca Strings & Ebony Cleaner
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANERÂ has been formulated mainly with vegetable and mineral components that deeply clean the strings and the fingerboard, leaving a thin protective and softening film that contributes to extending the life of the strings.
It is made up of a network of lamellar liquid crystals in conjunction with mineral micro particles, biodegradable surfactants and vegetable oils that facilitate the release of active substances on the strings and fingerboard, prolonging their conservation, shine and hydration.
MIRCA helps limit the appearance of microorganisms that reduce the life of the strings and the degradation of the ebony of the fingerboard through deep cleaning, intense hydration and creating a persistent, long-lasting protective film.
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER has been developed for application on ebony fingerboards and strings made of different metals (silver, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, chrome, bronze, etc). It offers optimal cleaning by removing traces of grease, oil residues, rosin, bacteria and dirt in general.
It is packaged in an acrylic airless container to prolong shelf life and is presented in 40ml or 1.35 fl.oz containers.
MIRCA STRINGS & EBONY CLEANER is antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal. Its application incorporates in the strings and the fingerboard an excellent tactile recovery that facilitates the playing of the instrument making, if it is the case, the sweat of the hand becomes less assimilable by the ebony and uncomfortable.
Taxes / VAT and shiping not included.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Dear José MarÃa, I wish to share with you the satisfaction I feel to play my Mario Capicchioni viola with the FASTER Titanium on it.
The sound, which was already good before, has utterly improved in quality and power, with many more harmonics. The sound of the instrument has gained bright and timbre sweetness, thanks to the sound range amplitude.
I appreciate your great work very much. My most sincere congratulations!
With affection and admiration.

The FASTER Artica Titanium Cello Endpin, designed and constructed by José MarÃa Lozano, has utterly outstanding features.
My first impression was the ease of sound production (strings vibrate unrestrainedly), and the spectacular sound quality. That is because of a tangible increase in harmonics produced by the cello, which undoubtedly gains volume and brightness in its sound, both in low and high ranges.
Never before had I come across an endpin that could improve the sound parameters of an instrument.
May my testimonial persuade other cellists to acquire one of these magical endpins. I herein thank maestro luthier Lozano, who passionate towards and skillful with nowadays technology, contributes to improving the sound of instruments existing for over three centuries, proving that the past and the future can work in harmony.

Maestro José MarÃa Lozano has got to revolutionize sound with his innovating FASTER system of endpins and stoppers, not just by boosting it up, but also by improving its quality, reaching levels of excellence.

I was introduced to the FASTER world by Giovanni Fabris, the concertmaster of our orchestra. I must say that, as soon as we fitted it to the instrument, I noticed an immediate change. The A string became sweeter, and the C string had a fuller sound. The instrument’s response is generally better in all positions.
However, the FASTER Titanium makes a real difference when you want to play piano and pianissimo because the strings, especially the low ones, go into vibration much easier. All my fellow players who have tried it are just as happy.
Thank you very much for this invention.

Bravo, José MarÃa! I never thought that the FASTER Artica 600 Titanium cello endpin could change, free, and project the sound of a cello to such a large extent.
You made it! Congratulations!

Double bass professor - Córdoba, Spain
It is an outstanding contribution to the world of the double bass. After having tried the FASTER endpins and BELTON stoppers by José MarÃa Lozano in various concert halls and auditoriums, the summing-up cannot be better.
The sound quality improves by optimizing the harmonics as well as their projection. My feeling is that of more comfort at playing, which strengthens my self-confidence.
Congratulations!

Artica 500 Titanium cello endpin by maestro José MarÃa Lozano has increased the resonance and harmonics in my double bass. The sound spreads itself more naturally, and playing feels easier. Bravo!
