I purchased a cello from Cremona several years ago, and since then have tried many ways to enhance my cello’s vibrations and acoustics. After in-depth research and consulting with expert luthiers and cellists, I believe that outside of enlisting a luthier’s help, changing the accessories is the best and only way to improve sound and vibration. That being said, the expertise and resources for these accessories are scarce in my country and I have spent a lot of time and money in an effort to find ones that work for me.
So, how can we find a better sound for our cellos? The solution is to find a better vibration point. However, this is easier said than done. Every tree has its unique life journey and this makes each cello’s sound and characteristics very different.
For the best results, I strongly recommend the help of a reputable luthier to make sure your cello's setting is healthy prior to trying on any accessory. String instruments are sensitive and it will be futile to try on accessories if your cello is not tuned properly.
I developed this website to share my experiences with accessories, especially those that can be easily self-replaced like endpins and stoppers. In addition, I believe that they can bring significant improvements to the sound and feeling of holding the bow.
Finally, if you have any questions and/or are interested in discussing the effects of other products, please feel free to send the team an email. We will be happy to hear from you.
WWT Studio
WWT Studio was established to create great accessories to help everyone play easier and happier. In pursuit of the aforementioned goals, we (one cello enthusiast, one luthier and one cellist) founded WWT Studio. WWT stands for our last names. It is a symbol of our commitment to seek a better sound. We created the endpin “Cantabile” and the stopper “Reale”. It is our belief that inside every cello there is a hidden potential for an even better sound, and our products were made to bring these out.
www.celloendpin.com acts as a platform to share useful information that we have discovered with the cellist community. Please keep in mind that every cello is unique. An accessory that works for one cello may not be perfectly suitable for another and we strongly recommend that you try them out before purchasing.
WWT Studio is based in Taiwan. All of our products are shown on the page “Good Stuff” and you can make a reservation to try our accessories at luthier Chi-Wei Wang’s Studio. For more information, please visit the page “Where Can I Try”.
