[edit] Black hole (musical equipment)

Article devoted to a single brand of cello endpin stop. Mentions one other brand, but there are dozens if not bzillions of similar products not mentioned, as well as home-made types. Perhaps could be moved without redirect to Endpin anchor or some such article. Just plain Bill 15:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

article name not mentioned in edit summary on log page. oops. Just plain Bill
  • Undecided my youngest is a cellist, and we actually own one of these. It works very well. I wasn't aware it was a tradename; if there are many brands, what is the generic name? As an item I would say it is more deserving of an article than a lot of fictional subjects we keep, because it is an interesting, useful and curious item (non-cellists often get a light-bulb moment when they realise what it's for and how simple it is).

I just created a stub Endpin stop for the generic item. Black hole (disambiguation) now has a line pointing to that stub. I've read elsewhere that the "Black Hole" has an excellent grip on slick floors. I use a slip of pine about 3/8" thick with a loop of nylon parachute cord around the chair legs. For me, the price of scrounged material is always right. ;-) Just plain Bill 00:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete the article and / or give it a Redirect to the new Endpin stop stub by Just plain Bill. The information in the article is useful but a generic titled article is preferrable Ande B 08:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Back when I played, we called it a "rock stop", as in the article here. That said, Bill's suggestion works just fine for me, and there's also some related content at Endpin. -Colin Kimbrell 17:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Both Endpin stop and Endpin anchor now redirect to Endpin, which has a section containing the info seen up to now. Seems to me like that's the place to put any more content that shows up. Just plain Bill 04:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
