REVIEW VIDEOS

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 puck-style stop out there

The Black Hole is my endpin of choice these days. Other endpin stops will slide, and continue to slide, even if you clean them off. With the Black Hole, you can be assured that the rest will not move around. I rarely run into this, but if you do happen to get a significant amount of dust/dirt on there that causes it to start to slip, it is easily washed and actually fixes the problem -- unlike my experiences with other puck style endpin stops.

Such a big help

I didn’t know what to order for my Endpin Stop and this works perfect for me! And I had my order within days. Thank you so much.

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 sticks! Wash the Black Hole off once in a while and it will keep sticking like new.

the best portable stop i have found

i have used this stop for a few years now, and it is my go to stop for any, ANY smooth floor surface...it is small, it is unobtrusive, and it holds so well. And it is true, the smoother the surface, the more it will grip. The pin holder also does not dull the endpin point...i recommend this to anyone looking for great security on a less than great surface...

Works pretty well

This rock stop worked well while I was using it, however on certain very smooth concrete floors and dusty floors especially, it went from sticking to the floor to being more slippery than my end pin stopper. I ended up switching to the blue stick stop
ceramic one, and I haven't had a case where this has slid at all due to floor conditions.
