Product information "Violin tailpiece English model"

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

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.

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

Endbutton
Violin Viola Endbutton

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 -
