Are there any Violin or Cello players out there?

I am not a player..I have developed a direct coupled purely mechanical End Pin for cello and bass that increases string and wood reactance, decreases wrist and forearm fatigue with a gain in acoustic output as much as 1.5db/50%. Tom

Thanks Mr E.

Maximum coupling is the key. I saw the platforms. With what I am doing now for floor standing instruments you would not need to have an additional platform. My device provides maximum coupling at the instrument side as well as the floor room interface surface. Looking for a wider audience of open minded musicians to try the pin out. Tom

Vibrational patterns within a wooden instrument can be realigned with the proper singular substitution of a component part of an endpin. The aperture/void to receive the end pin makes for an almost complete disconnect between the front,back, top, bottom and sides of the instrument.Unless this void is filled properly all facets of the instrument will not fire in a single coherent breath. Endpins in general are meant to be adjustable stands of convenience just like a microphone stand is misunderstood. When in fact the endpin and a microphone stand should be considered a tuned extension of the actual device or instrument..such as a tonearm being driven by a phono cartridge. When proper material, geometry and mechanical coupling are applied vibrational patterns can be re aligned and re-fired from previous and present themselves as a more focused, coherent, tuneful and dynamic sound that is easily heard, recordable and measureable. Carbon fiber is not a part of this musical alignment. Tom
