Abstract

A device for restraining or anchoring the endpin of a floor-resting musical instrument such as a cello or a string bass is provided for allowing the musician to hold the musical instrument in a desired position and prevent the endpin from sliding around on the floor surface. The device also protects the surface of the floor from being damaged by a sliding endpin. The device also does not dampen the sound of the musical instrument.
