To me, these are best used if you play arco, sit on a stool, and like a very upright playing position. There was a cellist who popularized these...not sure of the name though. Perhaps a bassist has done the same? |

All of them got it, loved it for a while because of the way it angled the instrument more upward, and then for one reason or another they all switched back to regular pins.

That's the way I'm using it anyway. It's angled in the photo to show what it does. The white rubber tip is a doorstop from Mr Bricolage ... |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
