Akusticus Cello Tailpiece

You would not think that a shiny piece of plastic slightly smaller than your average tailpiece would make any difference, or be aesthetically pleasing…I’ve had wood tailpieces for years and years, until a recently purchased cello came home with this one and I did some research. If you are looking to enhance the sound of your cello, or just want to give it every possible advantage ( and I am talking beginner to professional level), may I suggest looking into this tailpiece? Its is perfectly balanced, light as a feather, and the fine tuners work very very well. I have the planetary pegs, and yes, I also use the fine tuners. It is a perfect combination for me. And it is reasonably priced from Concord, too!

Excellent tailpiece; i'm a pro but i still love having tuners on each string ;o) And thank you for delivering orders so fast. Greatly appreciated blessing!

I've had an Akusticus tailpiece since the mid-1980s.My Heberlein cello is a bit on the smaller side (though still 4/4) so the smaller length is actually a perfect fit, and it's super light weight and metal tailgut give it a bright, cheerful tone. The fine tuners are still working fine after decades of use.

Really like the tailpiece...the fine adjusters are super smooth to use.

The cello section of the Berliner Philharmonic all use these tailpieces.

These look like cheap plastic, but they're the lightest tailpieces made. They have such little mass that they barely interfere with the strings' vibration at all.

They'll open up your cello's voice. If you have a heavy tailpiece, the difference will be dramatic.
