Best source for Goetz endpin

Greg Clinkingbeard · #1 08-27-2010, 09:06 PM

I'm thinking of going back to a traditional steel endpin. What's the best place to get a Goetz (Gotz?)?
Just looking for a normal 10mm pin.
The only source I can fine is Robertson's at $150. Ouch.

Nahrmann carries them for $120. Or call Quinn violins in Minneapolis, they can probably order it for you even if it's not on their website...

Are you needing to replace the entire endpin assembly, or just the rod? Lemur carries rod replacements for $40 I think...

I need the entire assembly. The bore on my bass is 34mm so I will probably need to shim the plug.

Since you are in Kansas City, I'm sure KC Strings would serve you best.

Yea, what was I thinking. They will have a plug for their steel pin that will fit perfectly.
