DOUBLE BASS (AND CELLO) ADJUSTABLE SADDLE ENDPIN MOUNT INSTALLATION VIDEO

Installation overview for our trademark Saddle Rider Double Bass Endpin Mount with optional adjustable height saddle extension. The installation process is the same for our smaller cello model.

BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO, please read these UPDATED KNOT INSTRUCTIONS for installing the interior nut with mounts that have the new style of anti-vibration fitting (see photos below):

Step 1: Bend a piece of heavy gauge fishing line and insert upward through one of the eyelets

Step 2: Insert downward through the opposite eyelet

Step 3: Insert ends through the loop downward as shown

Next, proceed with installation instructions as shown in the video above. This knot centers the nut and pulls it into the end block without the lines getting tangled in the new style of anti-vibration fitting. Immediately after engaging the threads of the nut to the mount, remove the fishing line before tightening the nut. To do this, bend a small hook in a piece of the installation wire and pull out the looped fishing line. Cut one side of the looped filament, allowing it to easily be pulled out of the instrument.
