The fingerboard is important for the sound quality and ease of playing the viola. Ebony wood is preferred for its density and acoustic properties. However, it wears out due to string friction, so it's crucial to maintain it with specialized products. Ebony is dense and black, features that contribute to the quality of the instrument.
Soundposts are made from air-dried Spruce wood from the Alpine slopes. Each post is handmade and undergoes multiple processes for a high-quality finish.
The sound post in a bowed instrument has two functions: structural and acoustic. It's part of a harmonic design that produces pleasant overtones. Violin makers make the post themselves or buy it from suppliers. After positioning and stringing the instrument, minor adjustments are made using the ear. The sound post is crucial for sound quality. Animato Strings adjusts it perfectly. Contact us for any doubts.
The saddle on a viola is a slender piece of ebony below the tailpiece, protecting the instrument's delicate body from damage. Without it, the tailpiece would create a rattling sound that detracts from the viola's beautiful tones. The saddle is crucial for maintaining the viola's sound quality and must be crafted precisely.
