Tendercups were conceived to fulfill the need to protect fine furniture and floors from possible damage when using spikes and other sharp decoupling devices so that sound integrity is not lost. The parabolic shape of the cup centers the point, and reduces the likelihood of the point leaving the cup. Tendercups are available in Black or Silver anodized finish and are the same physical dimensions as small tenderfeet. They add less than 1/2 inch of height to the installation.
