Glaesel Cello Endpin Rest Review

Have bought 2 or 3 different endpin stops. Most of them are not sticky on wood floor. If an endpin stop slides on floor, why do we need it? This one stays on floor just fine. Would buy another one if I need to.

Commonsense Instrument Care: How to Look After Your Violin, Viola or Cello, and Bow (Strings Guide) [Paperback] Review

I found this book to be a solid work that would be at home on any beginning string player's shelf, or even someone who has been playing for a few years. Though short, I found it to be useful, especially for someone like myself who has never played a string instrument. It explains not just how to care for your instrument, but why the things that you should do are so important. More importantly, it tells you what NOT to do. I think that anyone but the most advanced players can glean a great deal of information from this book.

Ingles Ingles Adjustable Cello and Bass Stand Review

This is a fantastic stand and well worth the $41.55 price tag.Here are a few things I considered when looking for a cello stand and how this product matched up:

1) Sturdiness and instrument security

With a cello or string bass, this is priority one.I wanted to make sure neither the stand itself nor the cello's position in the stand would wobble or tip with an accidental jostle.No disappointment here.The base is comprised of two tubes about 1.5 ft long set about 2 ft wide when extended and the height of the padded supports on the base are adjustable.I set mine as far down as possible to lower the center of gravity of my cello.With the adjustable locking neck support, you get a surprisingly solid setup.This is about as secure of a cello stand as you can get short of a wooden box stand.

2) Bow holder

One of the biggest problems with cello and bass stands is the lack of bow storage.This stand has a fold-out rubber-padded hook on the back of the neck to place your bow.Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

3) Aesthetic appeal

I'll be honest, one of the reasons I invested in a stand was to show my cello off so having a stand that wouldn't detract from my cello was a must.For the most part, when the cello is in position, the stand is inconspicuous except for the neck support.When the locking mechanism on the neck is in place, it's hard not to notice, but it's a small price to pay for stability.The stand is colored in neutral grays and blacks so the stand itself isn't much to look at, but it hides itself well next to my cello, which is exactly what I wanted it to do.

Final thoughts:

I thought about buying a box stand, but the idea of spending $150-$200 on something with such a rudimentary function and the fact that the box itself would hide half of the cello's body from view were turn-offs.Converted (i.e. larger) guitar A-frame stands seemed unstable and unsuited for something as large and as delicate as a cello or bass.In the end, this stand was the only one that made any sense.It looks great, it's designed with the cello/bass in mind, it won't put a giant hole in your wallet, and it's rock solid when set up properly.If you're looking for a cello stand, this is the one you want.

Sherman Cello Rosin Review

I wasn't very impressed with this rosin... The wooden holder has a habit of catching some hairs and breaking them...

The Original Dampit Cello Humidifier Review

Great way to keep my cello at a good humidity level during the dry winter months. I have had no problems with it, I just make sure I squeeze out all excess water and dry the outside very well with a paper towel. I make sure that I store the instrument in a fashion that prevents the humidifier from touching the wood on the inside to prevent any wicking of the water onto the wood. It has worked very well for me, but just don't tell my luthier.......he highly disapproves of this product......humidify the room not the instrument is his motto.
