ZMT tailpiece improves the sound of violas. It generates more vibrations and enhances resonance, overtones, and timbre. The package includes a Kevlar tailgut, ZMT fine tuners, and string saddles.
The ZMT tailpiece is a revolutionary instrument design that significantly improves sound production for the violin family of instruments. It generates more vibrations between the strings, bridge, and sound post, resulting in more resonance, a broader spectrum of overtones, and a more balanced timbre. The package includes a Kevlar tailgut, specialized ZMT fine tuners, and string saddles for strings without fine tuners.
Broader overtone spectrum
Stretching a string beyond its standard length adds more energy to the basic tone, resulting in a richer and more profound sound. The overtone series vibrates more fully, giving a faster, better projected, and longer sustained tone. ZMT provides a faster and more intuitive response to bowing and vibration, making it easier to find the perfect sound.
Wider dynamic ranger
ZMT enhances your music when playing loud or soft, adds colour and stability, and gives you more control over volume and tone. Discover new possibilities for your instrument.
Reduction of wolf tones
Musical instruments may have wolf tones - highly amplified overtones due to natural resonance - and "dead" notes. ZMT reduces these issues by creating a stable string vibration. Over 80% of cases with ZMT show a significant reduction in wolf tones.

To tune your viola accurately, fine tuners are essential for many string players. They help achieve pinpoint accuracy and teach students to hear and adjust to fine pitch differences. Use the pegs for large adjustments and fine tuners for precision.

Tailpieces are essential components of a viola. We provide tailpieces crafted from ebony and rosewood to produce diverse tones. Dense woods warm and deepen the sound, while lighter woods brighten it. The material of the tailpiece plays a significant role in enhancing or altering the sound of the viola.
