An endpin is a small, pointed device typically found on the bottom of string instruments like the cello and double bass. It serves as a support, allowing the instrument to stand upright while being played. The endpin can be adjusted in height to suit the player's preference and playing style. Made from materials such as metal or wood, the endpin is inserted into the instrument's body and extends to the floor. This design helps stabilize the instrument, providing better balance and comfort for musicians during performances or practice sessions.
