Endpin Replacement

Product Information

The endpin is a deceptively small yet structurally critical part of your instrument. It holds the full weight and tension of the strings and, in the case of cellos and double basses, also serves as the main support point against the ground. A poorly fitting endpin can compromise both safety and sound.

The fit must be just right:

• Too loose, and the pin may slip or pop out under tension

• Too tight, and it can be difficult to insert, increasing the risk of breakage or damage due to diminished anchor resistance

Getting this right is essential to ensure both playability and structural stability.

Our endpin replacement service includes the removal of your existing endpin and the installation of a new assembly, selected and fitted to match your instrument’s size and requirements. Proper installation also enhances tonal transmission and projection, especially in lower instruments.

This service includes:

• Assessment and removal of the existing endpin

• Cleaning and preparation of the socket

• Installation of a new endpin assembly

• Fine-tuning of the fit for safe tension handling and smooth use

• Final checks for resonance, support, and security

Availability: This service is available at our Billinghay workshop.
Post-in service: Instruments can be posted to us at the owner’s risk. All shipping costs must be covered by the customer.

Packaging guidelines:

• Loosen the strings slightly before packing

• Wrap the instrument in acid-free tissue paper or silk before adding padding

• Never allow bubble wrap to touch the varnish directly

• Use a hard case or a well-padded box

• Clearly label the package as FRAGILE
