Violin Tailpiece
baroque model
BERDANI develops historical tailpieces that are precisely handcrafted to match your instrument. All Berdani products are built entirely in Germany. We offer different models and different lengths to achieve the best possible sound.
Our idea for an optimal sound:
- The weighting of the tailpiece is chosen so that the vibrations of the instrument are supported and not hindered.
- The tailpiece is inside hollowed out
- The angles of the strings from the bridge to the tailpiece do not taper, but run straight down and parallel to each other. The result is a harmonious and balanced sound.
- The maple tailpiece is glued and locked with ebony or dark paperfunier. It is therefore very stable.
- The tailpiece comes with a gut and braided string. You decide which sound you like best

Berdani´s Dark Paper
Sustainable, Environmentally Friendly and Innovative - An Alternative for Ebony
Our idea: We wanted to find a material that is equal to ebony in appearance, weight and sound, but can be produced sustainably. We succeeded in doing that. The result is Berdani's Dark Paper, a composite of recycled paper and resin.
Production
To produce the high-quality dark paper, recycled paper is soaked with a warm resin, layered by hand and pressed under high pressure.
Appearance
The finished product looks like the finest ebony. It has a continuous black colour and the same hardness and density as ebony. Berdani's Dark Paper is also heat and dirt repellent and resistant to moisture and sweat. Since the material is made of purely natural components, it is 100% biodegradable. Berdani`s Dark Paper is also non-toxic and does not shrink or swell.
Processing / Use
The composite material can be processed immediately and without long storage times. Violin makers do not need special tools for this. The material can be processed with conventional violin making tools; it can be planed, filed and sanded.
Swiss maple
The maple was felled and split by ourselves. The woods have been stored for years and are sorted by weight and sound. It is finely sanded with linseed oil and polished with Canauba wax.
Ebony
The ebony has been carefully stored for years and is sorted by weight and sound. It is finely sanded with linseed oil and polished with Canauba wax.
