ABSTRACT:
A resonating end-pin holder for cellos and other string instruments, the holder serving not only to stabilize the instrument with respect to the ground but also to enhance the playing qualities thereof. The holder is constituted by a back plate raised from the ground by feet, above which is a top plate having a socket adapted to receive the end-pin. The top plate, which is spaced from the back plate, is coupled thereto by a sound post that provides an acoustic coupling therebetween. The vibrations of the instrument are transmitted through an end-pin to the plates and radiated thereby but they are isolated from the ground whereby the holder functions as a sympathetic sound board to reinforce the sounds produced by the instrument and to improve its playing qualities.
