Why players choose the Cello Grip-Foot

All-floor stability: A hassle-free endpin solution for floors such as parquet, linoleum, marble and fitted carpet.
Confidence on dusty surfaces: Designed to keep traction even when the floor isn’t perfectly clean.
Less fuss on stage: No troublesome strings or threads to mount — nothing to distract from performance.
Freedom of movement: Added stability can support more relaxed playing and easier learning, especially early on.

Key benefits

  • Works across floor types: designed for reliable placement on common stage and studio surfaces.
  • Sticks on dusty surfaces: built to maintain adhesion even when dust is present.
  • No string rigs: eliminates the need for mounting setups that can interfere with playing.
  • Replaceable grip sole: customer-friendly approach with a changeable adhesive hood/sole.
  • Compatibility: suitable for standard endpins..
  • Sound-tested: engineered and tested with musical performance in mind.

How it works

The Grip-Foot (Basic Edition) uses two core components: a solid plate to secure the instrument’s position, and a highly adhesive hood that can be replaced when worn. A gecko-inspired micro-lamella structure, developed with the Swiss Institute of Polymer Nanotechnology, is designed to maximize adhesion across different surfaces — even when dust is present, as particles can sit between lamellae while friction remains.

Materials & sustainability

  • Hood material: thermoplastic elastomer manufactured in Germany, produced under strict controls and dermatologically tested.
  • Designed for recycling: components can be separated by the customer and returned for recycling.

The development

Like other DOLFINOS products, the Cello Grip-Foot was developed through multiple R&D projects with input from scientists, musicians, students, pedagogues, luthiers, designers and Swiss manufacturing partners. A key driver was improving stability for players — especially children — who are often asked not to use spiky endpins and instead rely on simple rubber protectors.
