Weight adjustment set for cello tailpiece

This system allows adding incremental mass to the tailpiece to achieve the desired tonal balance “right on the fly.” It is useful to precisely adjust resonance for instrument individual peculiar properties and adjust balance between high and low strings by changing weight of right and left parts of tailpiece. Changing the weight of the tailpiece affects the resonance and makes the sound warmer as weight increases and brighter as weight decreases. The weight adjustment set contains 6 brass weights (6.3 grams), 2 aluminum weights (2 grams) and 2 titanium screws (0.7 gram). Each screw can hold up to 3 weights, so additional mass can be adjusted from 2.7 to 19.6 grams on the bass or treble side of the tailpiece, increasing the total tailpiece weight by up to 39.2 grams. The system is installed by drilling 2 small holes in the tailpiece to attach the screws and weights. A new tailpiece can be ordered from ConCarbo.com with the weight adjustment system already installed, or, if you already have ConCarbo tailpiece, we will send you a diamond drill bit with the set for the easy installation procedure.
