Berdani Violin Tailpiece – English Model Berdani – Finest Fittings The Berdani violin tailpiece in the English model is defined by its clear lines and characteristic central ridge, giving the design structure, precision, and quiet elegance. Its balanced proportions allow natural integration into a wide range of instruments while supporting an even and controlled transmission of string vibration. Each tailpiece is individually handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller and carefully adjusted in weight, balance, and function, resulting in a reliable component with stable response and timeless appearance. Design with Characteristic Central Ridge The English model is distinguished by its clearly defined geometry. The subtle ridge running along the center axis provides visual structure and highlights the precision of the handcrafted form. This construction also influences the tonal behavior of the instrument. The tailpiece supports a brighter, overtone-rich sound character, contributing to increased clarity, projection, and tonal presence. It is particularly well suited for instruments seeking additional brilliance and transparency. At the same time, the balanced construction ensures reliable string guidance and a controlled playing feel in everyday use. Selected Materials The tailpiece is available in carefully chosen materials, each offering distinct visual and tonal characteristics. Dark Paper Lightweight and stable material with a modern appearance and balanced functionality. English Boxwood A traditional material valued for its warm color and balanced acoustic properties. Dark Boxwood Thermally treated boxwood with deeper coloration and increased density, supporting focused tonal development. Boxwood Lighter boxwood with lively grain structure, encouraging openness and natural response. Ebony Dense and durable material with refined appearance and precise playing characteristics. Craftsmanship and Finish Each tailpiece is finely hand-sanded, treated with pure linseed oil, and polished to create a natural, skin-friendly, and breathable surface while preserving the authentic character of the material.
