Hidersine Hiderpaste Peg Paste Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After moving from a slightly humid climate to a very, very dry climate, the pegs in my cello shrank, and the silly thing wouldn't stay in tune. Literally, I would turn the pegs to tune the strings and they wouldn't even try to stay in place. In less than a second, I was out of tune again, making my cello unplayable. I bought this peg paste/peg glue, ran it over the ends of each of the pegs, and it worked like a charm! My cello is playable again!
The "paste" is actually like a small wax disc inside the tin. You just take the disc out of the tin and make a few marks down the sides of the pegs with the side of the disc. Then wrap your string on your peg as usual and you're ready to go.

(More customer reviews)I was really looking forward to getting this, such a big dissapointment! It tilts the Fiddle to a really odd angle and if you play anything faster like a jig, reel or polka (I play Irish fiddle music) it falls off. And its really uncomfortable, way to hard.

Artino 5 Hole Cello Endpin Stop - Rosewood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perhaps it is because I have seen a similar product of bigger sizes. I was disappointed when I received this endpin stop. The wood pieces are 7"x2.75" and 0.25" thick. The endpin holes are relatively small. Therefore you need to remove the endpin rubber to use it.
The craftsmanship is good. If you like a light weight design, this product might be good for you. But personally I still think $20 is too expensive.
I learned the lesson to buy anything online only when the seller gives clear description of an item. A good picture is never good enough!

Wittner 15.5" - 16.5" Viola Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Beautifully made using latest high-tech materials make this tailpiece lighter than any other I have tried. This provided a small but noticable improvement in the voice of my instrument. Also it was easy to get the afterlenght just right with this part so I am pleased in all respects. Well worth the price. The only thing that could make it better and kept me from giving five stars is a minor redesign allowing a bar for the strings to rest on between the adjusters and the nut would keep the string lengths uniform and prevent minor voice changes as the fine tuners move through their range.
Still, very much worth the price and light, attractive, and good sounding. I am well pleased.

(Soli Deo Gloria)
p.s. I have Wittner Ultras on my violin and cello as well and the same apply to them as the above for my viola.

Wolf Shoulder Rest Replacement Parts: Rubber Tips (4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are really good, tough and long-lasting rubberized sleeves to fit over the feet of your Wolf or Wolf-style violin or viola shoulder rest. They go on easily, with a little dish-washing detergent. You trim off any overhang. If you have a Wolf-style shoulder rest, you will eventually need these. Mine lasted for 18 months before the first one needed to be replaced.
