  Endpin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Endpins are usually tipped with a point to stick into the floor, which is sometimes capped with fl rubber to preserve the floor's surface and provide friction.
Generally, endpins are parallel to the long axis of the instrument, but some cellists fit their instruments with a Tortelier-style endpin, which angles more towards the floor, improving mobility at the expense of stability.
To prevent this slippage, objects known as "endpin stoppers" (sometimes shortened to "pinstops,"), "endpin anchors," or "rock stops" are sometimes placed between the endpin and the floor to add surface area and enhance friction.
