Xeros End-Pin Anchor
The Xeros End-Pin Anchor is a device designed to stabilize the endpin of a cello or double bass while playing, preventing the instrument from slipping or moving on the floor. It is a commonly used accessory by cellists and bassists to ensure stability and maintain proper playing position.
The Xeros End-Pin Anchor typically consists of a durable strap or belt with an adjustable loop or hook at one end and a non-slip pad or plate at the other end. The loop or hook is attached to the endpin of the instrument, while the pad or plate is placed on the floor, providing traction and preventing the instrument from sliding.
To use the Xeros End-Pin Anchor, the loop or hook is secured around the endpin, and the pad or plate is placed on a non-slip surface, such as a rug or carpet. The adjustable design allows for customization of the strap length to accommodate different player preferences and playing positions.
Using an end-pin anchor can be particularly beneficial for cellists and bassists who perform in situations where the floor may be slippery or uneven. It helps maintain stability, allowing the player to focus on technique and musical expression without worrying about the instrument shifting or moving.
The Xeros brand specializes in producing a range of accessories for string instruments, including end-pin anchors, shoulder rests, and other support systems
