Soundpost with cap

I discovered this remarkable soundpost in the bass of a music school:
It is actually a little too short. Instead of a new soundpost, however, the last workshop decided to add something extra. So this soundpost was given a maple cap.

This is rare and remarkable because the cost of a soundpost lies less in the material and more in the working time. The careful adjustment of a soundpost is very time-consuming. It is not really worth it to glue something onto an old soundpost and then adjust it again.
