The invention presented herein allows efficient modification of endpins for musical instruments such as cello or bass that use cavities in one or more components that accommodate filler material. The filler materials are composed of materials that affect the acoustic outcomes. The user can modify the endpin acoustic outcomes relatively quickly by changing the filler composition until a desired acoustic outcome is achieved. This allows various acoustic outcomes using the same shape, materials, and construction for the endpin components. Several embodiments are illustrated for endpins, pedestals, stringed instrument sound posts, interior blocks, bass bars, speaker legs and the like.
