Made by a company that specializes in non-slip rubber products, the Black Hole Cello Stop is a simple and effective means of holding the cello in place - the smoother and harder the floor, the better it works. Just place the Black Hole in position and let the unique non-slip properties do the rest. No messing around with strings or belt straps around the chair legs!! Easily carried in the pocket or in the case.

"Floors in performance venues always seem to be harder, dustier, and slicker than normal floors; as a result, endpin anchors that have proven to be reliable to me in the past have failed me with large numbers of other people watching. This was exactly the case in a recent performance of my cello trio. I used a small circular rubber endpin stop and a Stahlhammer endpin, but despite this, when I put any amount of weight on my cello, it slipped forward with a horrible noise. In retrospect, I could have been more prepared for that situation by bringing a higher quality endpin anchor. The Xeros is my personal favorite, as it attachs to the leg of your chair and therefore cannot possibly move. It is, however, bulkier than most endpin stops, so for those looking for a more convenient and portable stop the Sure-Stop and the Black Hole are excellent choices."

    The best

    I had this rockstop for over ten years. It is compact, simple, and slip-proof on any floor as long as it's clean. Definitely the best of any rockstop I or my students have used. Unfortunately 've lost it and am ordering another. ... (See Full Review)

    Excellent!

    After trying about everything that has been invented, this is still the best! Small, easy to store. Wipe a small space on the floor lightly with a rag and slap the Black Hole on the floor, it ticks! Wash the Black Hole off once in a while and it will keep sticking like new. ... (See Full Review)
