Bass and Cello Luthier Tools

Sound Post Inserter / Remover for Cello THE SOUND POST MATE - Sound Post Inserter / Setter / Remover This little tool fits easily in cello case compartment and is always available for any adjustment work. Is inexpensive, versatile and easy to use even by less experience violin owners.. Optimal fitting and placement of the soundpost will make your instrument sound much better. Moving the post closer to the bridge usually produces more power, whereas moving the post away from the bridge will give less power and a form of richness. The tightness of the post also has an effect on the violin. A post that is set too tightly will choke the violin and require more bow pressure, whereas a loose soundpost will lack quality and be at risk for falling.
