Viola Tailpiece Berdani

Product information "Viola Tailpiece Berdani"

Tailpiece Viola

BERDANI develops tailpieces that are perfectly matched to your instrument in precise manual work. All Berdani products are completely built in Germany. We offer different models and different lengths to ensure that your instrument produces the best possible sound.

Our idea for an optimal sound:

• the weighting of the tailpiece is selected in such a way that the vibrations of the instrument supports and not hindered

• the tailpiece is so hollowed out that it does not favour a wolf tone

• the angles of the strings from the bridge to the tailpiece do not taper, but run straight, downwards and parallel to each other. The result is a harmonious and balanced sound

• the slot width is so wide that the thickest string fits into the slot without cutting. The String vibrates more freely

• the tailpiece comes with a plastic and a braided string. You can do the following decide yourself  which sound you like better

• the fret of the tailpiece is rounded on one side to minimize the rubbing of the tailpiece

• the fine tuners are made of titanium and can be installed and removed by hand

• A smooth-running thread allows the screw in the titanium fine tuner to be loosely turned and can be tuned optimally

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. 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 impregnated with a warm resin, layered by hand and pressed under high pressure.

Look:

The finished product looks like the finest ebony. It has a black colour throughout 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 from purely natural components, it is 100% ecologically degradable. Berdani's Dark Paper is also non-toxic and does not shrink or swell.

Processing / Use:

The composite can be processed immediately and without long storage times. The material can be processed with conventional violin making tools; it can be planed, filed and sanded.

During experiments on violas we found that with Berdani`s Dark Paper on the plain A string the wolf tone disappeared with medium and strong stalk thicknesses.

Boxwood light and dark

We have developed a process to color the box tree in a natural way.

Our boxwood is completely stained without stains or alkalis, such as saltpetre or ammonia.

Only pure linseed oil and canauba wax is used for surface treatment.

The violin maker only has to oil the pegs, chinrests and tailpieces, no pickling or caustic solutions are necessary. We offer the boxwood in two colours. Boxwood light looks like conventionally dyed boxwood. Dark boxwood can serve as a substitute for rosewood.

Ebony

The ebony has been carefully matured for years and is sorted by weight and sound. It is finely sanded with linseed oil and canauba wax is polished.

Chinrest Viola
Viola chinrest Guarneri model

Chinrest for Viola|Guarneri Model We have perfected the chinrest models in exchange with musicians in such a way that they nestle comfortably in the neck and chin area and do not disturb. Our idea for a good fit: • all chinrest models are reinforced with a sleeve system. Due to the metal sleeve, the chin rest remains in its original position when tightened and does not go upwards • the instrument lies securely and firmly on the body. The musician can focus more on himself and be concentrated and does not fatique as quickly • the chinrest feet are cut out extra small and covered with 2 mm cork, whereby the ceiling and the body can swing freely • we offer the chinrest screws in different lengths made of titanium and nickel-plated • titanium has an anti-allergic effect The designs Models: •Guarneri model •Medium model Wood species: •Berdani´s Dark Paper (Ebony substitute) •Dark Boxwood (rosewood substitute) •boxwood •ebony Screw details and lengths: •titanium, lock size 36 •nickel-plated lock size 29 and 35mm surface: •finely ground and polished with pure linseed oil •skin-friendly and natural surface   - Chinrest for Viola - 2020
