Why CARBONMETAL?
The three CARBONMETAL endpins
The stage / concert hall choice
Within the CARBONMETAL family, Copper provides a big, energetic sound with increased volume and projection. It has a lively, focused and clear character, with a crisp-feeling response.
- Character: powerful, lively and focused
- Core: solid copper, carbon-clad
- Diameter: 10 mm
- Item weight: approx. 0.29 kg
Richness & power
Brass adds richness and power and can suit an overly lively instrument. Its sound is focused and darker than Copper, with the carbon wrap helping to keep the overall weight down.
- Character: rich, focused and darker
- Core: solid brass, carbon-clad
- Diameter: 10 mm
- Item weight: approx. 0.28 kg
Clarity & brilliance with warmth
Titanium combines its characteristic clarity and brilliance with warmth from the carbon finish. It is lighter and crisper in character than Copper or Brass, with a focused sound and faster-feeling response.
- Character: clear, brilliant and crisp
- Core: solid titanium, carbon-clad
- Diameter: 10 mm
- Item weight: approx. 0.17 kg
Copper, Brass or Titanium?

Fit, buttons & Bender fittings
For best results: CARBONMETAL endpins are designed around a 10 mm diameter and work particularly well with a Bender-style end button using circumferential clamping. Ensure the spike seats securely and is kept sharp or protected as appropriate.
AR Distribution also carries Bender aluminium cello endpin fittings in 23.5 mm, 25 mm, 26.5 mm and 28 mm diameters.
Collet nuts are also available in aluminium, brass and bronze.
