Violin tailpiece Beethoven

Product information "Violin tailpiece Beethoven"

Berdani Violin Tailpiece – Beethoven Model

French Model (Rounded Shape)

Berdani – Finest Components

The Berdani violin tailpiece in the Beethoven model is crafted according to the classical French model, distinguished by its softly rounded form and balanced proportions. The calm, flowing outline creates a harmonious visual presence 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 to integrate naturally into the instrument and provide a stable playing feel.


Rounded Design with Engraved Detail

The French model refers to the characteristic rounded shape of the tailpiece. Smooth contours and gentle transitions create a refined appearance while ensuring reliable string guidance.

At the center of the tailpiece, a finely engraved Beethoven head gives the model its distinctive identity. The precise engraving is subtly integrated into the design, combining craftsmanship with a tribute to one of the most influential figures in musical history.

The balanced construction supports stable response and controlled tonal development.


Selected Wood Options

The tailpiece is available in carefully selected materials, each offering its own visual and tonal character.

Dark Boxwood
Thermally treated boxwood with a deep, warm appearance. The increased density supports tonal stability and a focused response.

Boxwood
Lighter boxwood with lively grain structure, encouraging openness and natural tonal response.


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 wood.

The tailpiece is fitted with an adjustable nylon tailgut featuring a braided textile cord, allowing precise individual adjustment to different instruments.

Frets are available in Dark Paper, Ebony, Boxwood, or Brass, depending on visual and functional preference.

Endbutton Violin|Viola BERDANI designs end buttons for string instruments, which are simple and traditional in their form. They are well-formed and turned as short as possible so that it is pleasant for the musician and he feels only a minimal feeling of pressure at the neck. In addition, the button is half or fully recessed to prevent clothing from getting caught. The surface is finely sanded and polished with linseed oil. The designs The models: • head with one heel without button • head with one heel with button • head with several heels without button • head with several heels with button Wood species: • Berdani´s Dark Paper (Ebony replacement) • boxwood dark (rosewood substitute) • ebony • boxwood Stalk thickness: • weak Ø 8,30mm • strong Ø 9,00mm 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. 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. - Endbutton Violin|Viola -
