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.
The pegs in cone 1:30 for violin and viola and in cone 1:25 for cello are turned to their final dimensions. They can be fitted with a Herdim reamer and the Wittner Ultra vortex cutter. We also offer the vertebrae in different shaft thicknesses. Any conventional whirl soap can be used for lubrication.
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 wax polished.
