Noa Rubber Tip for Artica 500

• 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

  My violins are equipped with FASTER Titanium and FASTER Silver. From the first moment, I was able to verify that my instruments had gained in projection and harmonic richness.
  FASTER helps the musician to get a sound with less effort and with excellent results hitherto unknown. My most sincere congratulations to Maestro José María Lozano, for finding what he has always sought, “the excellence of sound”.
  I recommend FASTER to all violinists.

  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!

  Concertmaster - Orchestre Philarmonique de Liège & WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln – Germany

  I have installed the FASTER Titanium in three violins that date from 1663, 1850, and 2012. Thanks to this great invention, the sound qualities have improved in all of these instruments.

  FASTER inspires me and helps me do more with less.

  Violin soloist – Germany

  Dear José María, thank you for the FASTER Titanium for my Stradivari violin.

  It is a cool invention!

• Helena Poggio

  Cello soloist - Quiroga Quartet - Professor of Chamber Music of the Royal Superior Conservatory of Music in Madrid

  I am delighted with my new FASTER Artica titanium cello endpin and with the Belton Grafit cello end pin stopper. I feel how the vibrations of my instrument have increased in contact with my body, with the ground and around it. The harmonics have increased notably and my cello has a greater projection without losing its usual warmth, transmitting a round, clean and enveloping sound.

  Dear friends and colleagues,

  The first time they told me about Master Lozano’s FASTER Titanium, I was quite skeptical and incredulous. Now it is installed on two of my violins, one old and one modern. The change with the FASTER has been incredible with no less than 30% sound, projection, harmonics, tonal richness, and great playability.

  José María I’m super happy with your genius . Thank you, thank you, thank you!.

  Dear Maestro, I wanted to tell you that Professor Fabbris had already put the Faster on my “Augusto Pollastri” from 1925 with excellent results!

  Then after I had my Cremona luthier do the work of closing and reopening the button hole (because it was too big), he finally inserted the Faster into my second instrument as well (a 1917 “Serafino Casini” published in the book “La Grande Liuteria Italiana” by A.Versari), obtaining a much more homogeneous and powerful sound for this instrument too!

  Thank you again for your wonderful invention and for your great work.
